The letter is the published assessment. Missing factor evidence is labeled; it does not become a zero.
Why this grade
First major signer of the AFBF Right-to-Repair MOU (March 2023), guaranteeing 'fair and reasonable terms' access to Case IH/New Holland tools, software, and documentation for owners and independent shops in all 50 states + Puerto Rico. CNH is comparatively transparent operationally: New Holland runs a public-facing Self-Repair program with a documented Electronic Service Tool (EST), and CNH sells time-limited EST diagnostic licenses through its online store — so owners have an official (if subscription-gated) software path, better than the dealer-only models. Offset by: large/complex software-heavy big-ag equipment, OEM parts pricing, and the MOU's explicit carve-outs (no emissions/safety/power-level access) plus PIRG/Warren findings that customer-tier tools redact troubleshooting and dealer-only databases. Conservative D.
