Fendt aircon warranty ?

[FendtRunner86]

We had to replace evap on a 1050, and know several others in the states had the same problem, leaking evap....fendt had a bad shipment of evaporaters I believe. Can't remember if ours was covered under warranty so I'm not much help....3 yr /3000 hr warranty from new is bumper to bumper but it doesn't cover consumables....@FendtRunner86 didn't you have to replace a leaking evap on one of yours?

Yes, I had evaporator replaced on 900 g6 under warranty and 1000 g1 out of warranty

Have you or would you pay for the 10,000 hour warranty on your Fendt's, given that you keep them as long as you intend to? Would it be hugely expensive.

no i don’t extend warranty, it’s expensive and past experience of the 724 had not many issues all of which were sorted at less cost than warranty would have been

you know within the first 1000hrs if you have a lemon usually so if all is good at that point and you service/ maintain religiously 10 k hrs isn’t a big ask

i didn’t mention it to dealer and it wasn’t mentioned by them, I’m not into blackmail via social media !

but who knows ! manufacturers clearly like to demonstrate service to customers, you could conclude not covering such items on premium tractors wouldn’t be a great look

tff aside i really couldn’t see why any manufacturers warranty wouldn’t cover aircon ?

The only possible reason for their reluctance on this matter could be that another party (Independent air con specialist) has been involved.
Never a good idea to potentially give the manufacturer an “out”

The gas in a “sealed for life” system such as aircon is hardly a “consumable” which by definition wear out faster the more that a machine is operated.

Fendt or the dealer?
If it's the dealer, bypass them and escalate it with Fendt or Agco, whoever you can get.
I can't figure out why the AC unit wouldn't be warranty, if the system is sealed properly there should be no reason to regas it, there for there is a faulty part

As with all such companies, AGCO make it as hard as possible for dealers to claim warranty payments and employ people almost exclusively to sieve through claims and reject on the slightest issue. While it may be worthwhile putting pressure on the dealer, don’t be too hard on them because they are relatively powerless piggies in the middle.

Yes but with a high margin product you would expect more leniency.

Does that hold for Range Rover, BMW, Mercedes, Ferrari and other high margin and premium products? Not likely.

There isn't as huge a margin made on tractors by dealers like folk think.

Depends, premium products = premium margins
