I was doing some comparative research tonight and I happened to come across Bad Boy's Tractor Warranty. I think it is a perfect example of what we have been discussing. It's clear after reading this warranty how little confidence Bad Boy has in the electronics on their tractors.

Each applicable warranty term begins on the date of sale. This warranty is provided to the Dealership of new Bad Boy tractors, implements, and genuine parts (“Equipment”) purchased from BBT. Warranty service must be performed by Dealership. The customer shall be responsible for any diagnostic work, service and/or maintenance not directly related to any defect covered under this warranty.
