Alas
Printer manufacturers are allowed to get away with forcing you to use their ink and not refil cartridges.
Lorry, bus and car manufacturers increasingly use components which have to have 'certificates' to be used within the vehicle - forcing you to buy spares from them.
The EU are trying to stop people being able to use non OEM parts to repair their cars.
Personally the farmer should have phoned the supplier and instructed them to come and pick up the machine and repay the cost as it is clearly not fit for purpose. A harvester is there to harvest crops, if it cant its useless.
