Are there FOSS tractors? (slrpnk.net)

if I had to replace my tractor today I honestly have no idea which I would pick, but I think all of them come with irreplaceable software components. Are there any tractors available that have fully reviewable / replaceable control software?

There was a project quite a few years back called "open source ecology" where the goal was to develop everything needed to build a functioning farm from scratch. One of the parts involved a tractor of sorts.

However, I think the project lost steam years ago and has since shifted focus.

EDIT: Found it

It seems that the tractor actually went somewhere: https://opensourceecology.dozuki.com/c/LifeTrac
