firmware in tractors.
modern tractors are hubs of industrial systems of modern engineering for today’s large scale full-time farmers. so firmware is part of the on-board hydraulic & compressed air (umatic air systems). as agriculture can be time critical & cost sensitive. if you have just 48 hr window in the weather to get a job completed, costly downtime delays can be frustrating. so a firmware mod can save both time & money, particularly if the tractor manufacturer is using firmware to add cost & more delay for the end user.
you must see middle earth when in New Zealand 🙂
Warning about The Drop Bear, Thylarctos plummetus when in Australia.

Please please please tell me you are going to sell those log-books!
Don’t be scared by math, it takes some time to digest but it’s 100% worth it, even for engineers
Also, do a live stream marathon on youtube when you meet Dave in Australia, my only complain about the amp hour is that 1h a week is not enough!
Keep up with the good work
