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?

Yeah parts are another huge problem. It would be very cool to have a tractor built entirely out of commodity hardware, or hardware that can be fabricated locally e.g. an on-premises shop or a community maker space.
