Deere & Company agreed to a $99 million settlement of the "right to repair" antitrust case. Farms and businesses that paid Deere or an authorized Deere dealer in the US for repair services on large Deere agricultural equipment between January 10, 2018 and May 18, 2026 may qualify. The claim deadline is December 31, 2026.

Lawsuits filed starting in 2022 claimed Deere withheld the diagnostic software and repair tools needed to fix its newer, computer-controlled equipment, which pushed owners to authorized dealers and raised repair prices. Deere denies the claims and settled with no finding of wrongdoing.
Besides the cash fund, the settlement includes commitments on access to repair tools and information. A final approval hearing is scheduled for January 19, 2027.
Payments are based on the repair labor hours on your claim, so the more invoice detail you have, the better your claim.
We confirm your equipment and repair history fit the class, help collect dealer invoices, and file before the December 31 deadline through our claims recovery partner. Nothing upfront: our fee comes only from money actually recovered for you.
Claims must be filed by December 31, 2026. Late claims are generally not accepted.
Payments are based on the labor hours spent on Deere repair services, which many owners don't track. Dealers can usually reprint past invoices, and we help pull together what's needed.
The class covers repair services bought from Deere or its authorized dealers. Repairs done only by independent shops aren't part of this claim.
Class members could exclude themselves instead of filing a claim, but that choice has its own deadline and means no payment from this settlement. Talk to a lawyer if you're considering it.
