Summary

The law requires consumers who buy new agricultural equipment to notify manufacturers in writing of any defect and gives them a chance to have the problem fixed at no cost within 30 days. If the issue can’t be repaired after reasonable attempts, the consumer may demand a comparable replacement or a refund, minus reasonable use allowances. Violations are treated as unfair trade practices and may incur damages up to $10,000.
