Unfortunately nothing will come of this. What Louis doesn't understand is that dealerships are franchises. That guy is not a John Deere employee. If enough people make a stink, at best, they'll fire that guy and both John Deere and the dealer will say that he doesn't represent their views.

It's still good that he's getting the info out there, imo.

True, but he also seems to think this will most certainly end in an anti-trust violation.
