Imported JD 5310

frankie · Oct 3, 2004

I just bought a brand new JD 5310(55HP) imported from India. It runs good and i got a very good deal on it but my only concern is that it does'nt have warranty on it. Does anyone know where can i buy the warranty. Also if somebody is looking for a new tractor, i think it is a good deal to get the imported one. All the features and parts are same like we have in U.S

If it is brand new it should have a warranty. And are you sure its a 5310, or is it a 51,52,or 5303 series. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

If it's brand new, you bought it from a Deere dealer...right? Then you should have got a warranty.

Or, did you buy a grey market machine? I don't believe any of the Deeres are built in India.

If you bought grey market, I'm afraid you're on your own...the factory or dealer will not honor any warranty and may refuse to work on it. That's a fact of life with grey market. If fact, if it's grey market, Deere can make you remove any logos or any other markings identifying it as a Deere. If you imported it yourself...that's one thiong....but if it was an importer, it's probably stolen merchandise.

If it's grey market, you might want to post this in the grey market forum. Grey market does include equipment manufactured for an export market, then brought back into the country of origin, by the way. I reckon if you take it to a dealer, the serial number will be a give-away.

I know JD is been manufactured in India for sure check the link here.
But the thing is i bought from a dealer in india and he said that the JD does'nt have a worldwide warranty and the warranty he was offering was only valid in India. And the only reason i get this tractor was its very cheap as compared to here.

Welcome to the forum.
I would think a warranty purchased through an insurance company on this India tractor would cost some big bucks. I could be wrong though.
Very puzzling what you have and why no warranty. Where would you get warranty work done? At a Deere dealer? Maybe that dealer would have a lead where you could pick up some insurance.

Do you have the specs on this one? Any link to a site that this dealer has would be welcome.

Your bio would help too. Thanks.
