Hustler Equipment, manufacturer of livestock feeding machinery, has announced the introduction of a new, five-year warranty scheme for all their products manufactured in 2023 and later.
The company says this initiative aims to redefine customer assurance and satisfaction in the agricultural machinery industry.
Effective immediately and including all machines manufactured since January 2023, all machinery gets a 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects for the original purchaser for products retailed from an authorised Hustler dealership.
For model years 2022 and older, customers can refer to the previous country-specific warranty period, as outlined on the Hustler website.
To benefit from all the advantages of the warranty, customers can easily register their Hustler product online at hustlerequipment.com/ warranty and ensure that servicing or warranty claims are processed through an authorised Hustler dealership.
Special conditions of the warranty scheme are that Puckboard polyethylene floors are covered for 10 years, except for fading and conditions caused by excessive ultraviolet light (UV) or outdoor exposure.
Components, which includes hydraulic components, gearboxes and chains, electrical components, hydraulic and fluid hoses, and bearings that are damaged due to manufacturing defects, are covered for two years.
Paint and finish are covered for one year, while normal wear-and-tear from general use is not covered.
Wearing parts such as batteries, filters, tyres, towing eyes, and brake pads are covered against damage due to manufacturing defects for the original purchaser, but not for normal wear, consumption, or expiration. Labour is covered for all warranty repair travel, but mileage is excluded.
