Are there "hacked" (read, opensource) software versions of the software available for these farm machines, or is it illegal to produce open source software for such "proprietary" pieces of machinery?

I haven't been keeping up with the "Right to Repair" movement as close as I should have, I'm afraid, and I'm not sure how far down the rabbit hole it goes. Does it drop down so far as to touch the software that runs the machine systems on these, or is it purely mechanical?

EDIT: At this point in my life I should be able to spell =(
