Used tractor warranty

[Elliott]

Hello!

Looking at purchasing a used fastrac 4220 but it would probably be without warranty 3-4000 hours. I’m a bit nervous about having one without warranty.

Has anyone bought a separate warranty type package for a used tractor?

Many thanks
Elliott

You can buy a insurance based warranty ,not cheap I think from what I have heard not so good

If it’s a 3rd party warranty save your money and put it towards any repairs

If it coming from a dealer it should come with some warranty.normaly a month or 2 .or sometimes it's clock hours 50 or 100 whatever the dealer offers.this will give you time to sort out any problems not known at sale. Then just save you're money and pay for you're own repairs if you've picked a good one you're quids in

All car dealers and machinery dealers are legally obligated to fix any problems with sold items for six months post sale date, just that you have to prove the fault was there at purchase.

Do you have a link to the website from where you have found this information?

Sadly this is a lovely idea, but it ain’t true! If only it was.
Elliot. I’d pay a jcb mech for half a day to look over it. If it costs you £500 it will still be cheap

We’ve been selling machinery for over 50 yrs , I’ve yet to see any law regarding used tractors and machinery
We sometimes stand repairs on faulty machinery on the hope it gives us a good reputation

We don’t sell cars , sorry
Consumer law is very different!

What’s stopping a machinery dealer claiming warranty from a used machine purchased from a vat registered farm ?

Why?

Why?

You are the expert !
You tell me ?

Is the definition of a dealer not derived the nature of the business income?

I’m happy enough, balls in your court to prove the law is different to farm machinery!

Calm down , I don’t want to argue. Sadly you are still incorrect in your interpretations of that article.
Generally, although not always, so you could be right. Tractors are bought by businesses not by private individuals... I also couldn’t find in your link where it says 6 months?
