Right out the toaster. Reliable, with some real depth.
Summary
The EPA has issued guidance clarifying that the Clean Air Act supports farmers' right to repair their own nonroad diesel equipment, stating that manufacturers can no longer use the CAA to justify limiting access to repair tools or software. This move aims to save farmers repair costs and reduce downtime by allowing them to make timely repairs themselves rather than relying solely on authorized dealers.
