Evaluating Warranty and Service Agreements When Buying Equipment?

[Jared Allen]

Hey everyone,

When you're buying heavy equipment, how much weight do you put on the warranty and service agreements? I’m looking at a couple machines and the specs are similar, but one offers a longer warranty and better service plan. Do you find extended warranties are actually worth it, or just upsells? Also, what should I be looking out for in the fine print of these agreements? Would love to hear your experiences, good or bad, with warranty claims or dealer service support.

Good question, I've been wondering the same! Do those longer warranties really pay off long-term, or do most issues pop up after they expire anyway? Curious what kind of service support folks have actually used and found valuable.
