Say what you will of ol' Saddam - but at least he faced death defiantly - cussing his captors and executionors with what can only be called angry indignation.....

Unlocking the software on a tractor is likely to be much harder than unlocking your phone or your Roku.

That probably depends on how much of the functionality you wish to recover. Chances are restoring the tractor to basic functional state is not that challenging. Making it pull plow to make perfectly straight, GPS guided furrows over miles and under automated control, or interacting with crop sprayer so the right amount is sprayed over the right crops as defined by a geolocated map would be.
If that doesn’t work, dismantling the tractor and selling the parts could potentially be worth more than the sticker price of the tractor.

I'm no expert - but I was just at the dealer yesterday - and most of the farmers in this area run either JD or Case..... So we hear the horror stories regularly..

Quote:LVIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian forces pounded targets across Ukraine, taking aim at supply lines for foreign weapons in the west and intensifying an offensive in the east, as the European Union moved Wednesday to further punish Moscow for the war with a proposed ban on oil imports.
The Russian military said Wednesday it used sea- and air-launched precision guided missiles to destroy electric power facilities at five railway stations across Ukraine, while artillery and aircraft also struck troop strongholds and fuel and ammunition depots.
The defense minister repeated that Russian forces have blocked off a steel mill in Mariupol from which scores of civilians were evacuated over the weekend. Another official denied they were storming the plant, as its defenders said a day earlier.
Ukrainian authorities, meanwhile, said attacks in the eastern Donbas region left 21 civilians dead.

Hard to believe that the Russians are actually using sound tactics now.

Probably an effect of officer attrition. By random chance, some grifter died and left a competent underling at links in the coc.
