How much would you pay more to have this type support and service

buck12 · Dec 4, 2020

I owned my last tractor for 12 years and the only repair other a couple of self imposed repairs was a fan belt so I would have wasted money on a warranty. My general policy is I don’t buy buy warranties. One day I’m sure I will get burned but hopefully I have saved more than enough money to cover a repair.

Nothing

Such a "program " is a figment of imagination.

The "cost" would be equal to a replacement tractor with every "failure".

Not a real world issue, and there is no amount of money that would provide 48 hour turn around.

Can I say it? GET REAL!

If you read the post it’s not a real dealership or manufacture it was just a concept an idea would you pay more money for that type of service your answer is no

None. I don’t care about warranty. More times than not it’s less hassle to just fix it myself and be on my way.

I never fall for the extended warranty or service plan. Everyone from Harbor Freight to appliances to automobiles to a $100k motor home transactions give you the “opportunity “ to buy these expensive add ones.

They are simply profit centers for the dealers.

Not worth a penny to me.

If I start running into repetitive failures with something, it goes down the road and I buy something else.

I bought a new cover for my Hot tub. A little worried about dealing with an unknown entity but they offered a 7 year warranty so I figured it was safe. Outfit was two hours away.

Reading the warranty, it was pro-rated to almost nothing on year 7 and a hefty reduction even at year one, plus you pay for transporation. Bunch of other disclaimers too. I did find a small hole on the underside from new. Warranty wasn't worth th paper it was written on.

Company was in some large industrial building without signage, operating various company names at that address. They probably close a business every few years to get around employee injury (WSIB) claims and get out of warranty or liability claims.

-0- I have a 22 year old Kubota tractor and a 15 year old Kubota zero turn mower, both bought new, neither has been back to the dealer for any warrantee or service work. Same for my past 7 Hondas. I'm loyal to my dealers for future buys and maint items.
