FairTradeMachinery Introduces 1-Year Warranty on Core Components for All Purchases
Buying used farm and industrial equipment has always come with a certain amount of risk. You find a machine that fits your budget, cross your fingers, and hope nothing breaks down in the first few months. At FairTradeMachinery, we think you deserve better than that. That's why we're now offering a 1-year warranty on core components with every purchase—no extra fees, no complicated fine print.
This isn't just about selling machines. It's about standing behind what we sell.
Why Warranties Matter for Used Equipment Buyers
Here's the thing: only about 20% of farmers in the U.S. regularly buy new machines. The rest hold onto their equipment longer or buy second-hand—often with limited warranties or none at all. And when something goes wrong, the costs add up fast. Parts and labor for ag equipment have nearly doubled over the past two decades and jumped 41% since 2020 alone.
For operators running tight margins, an unexpected breakdown can be devastating. A failed engine or hydraulic system doesn't just cost money—it costs time during harvest season when every day counts. Our 1-year core component warranty takes some of that worry off your plate. You get protection where it matters most.
We built this warranty because we believe buying from FairTradeMachinery should feel like a smart investment, not a gamble.
What Core Components Are Covered?
Our warranty focuses on the parts that keep your equipment running:
Engine components – including blocks, heads, and internal parts
Transmission systems – gears, bearings, shafts, and housing
Hydraulic systems – pumps, valves, and cylinders
Axles and drivetrain – final drives, differentials, and CV joints
These are the systems that cost the most to repair and cause the biggest headaches when they fail. We're not covering wear items like tires or filters—that's standard maintenance. But the stuff that can sideline your operation for weeks? We've got you covered.
How the Warranty Process Works
If something goes wrong within the first year of ownership, here's what to do:
Contact our support team with your purchase information and a description of the issue
Get diagnosed – we'll work with you to understand the problem
Repairs get authorized – once we confirm it's a covered component, we move forward
You're back in business – repairs are completed and you're running again
No runaround. No waiting weeks for approval. We know that downtime during planting or harvest can mean lost crops and lost income, so we've designed this process to be straightforward.
The Right to Repair Connection
There's been a lot of talk in recent years about farmers' ability to repair their own equipment. Manufacturers have historically restricted access to diagnostic tools and software, forcing owners to visit authorized dealerships—sometimes hundreds of miles away—for even simple fixes.
We take a different approach. When you buy from us, you own the machine. Period. You can work on it yourself, take it to an independent shop, or bring it back to us. Our warranty doesn't get voided because you changed your own oil or had a local mechanic look at it.

Why We're Doing This
Let's be honest—offering warranties costs money. So why bother? Because we've seen too many equipment buyers get burned. Someone picks up a tractor or skid steer, and three months later they're facing a $10,000 repair bill with no recourse.
We stand behind the equipment we sell. Every machine goes through inspection before it hits our lot. Adding warranty coverage is our way of putting skin in the game alongside our customers.
The bottom line: When you buy from FairTradeMachinery, you're not just getting equipment. You're getting backup.

FAQs
Does the warranty transfer if I sell the equipment?
Yes. The 1-year warranty follows the machine, not the original buyer. If you sell or trade the equipment within the warranty period, the new owner can still make a claim for covered components. Just let us know about the ownership change.
What happens if I'm outside your service area when something breaks?
We work with customers across the country. If you're not near our location, we'll coordinate with you on getting repairs handled—whether that means shipping parts, working with a local shop, or another solution. The goal is getting you back up and running.
Do I need to use specific parts or shops to keep the warranty valid?
No. You can use genuine or quality aftermarket parts, and you can choose any qualified mechanic or do the work yourself. We won't void your coverage for routine maintenance or repairs performed by someone other than us.
Is there a deductible on warranty claims?
Our standard coverage has no deductible for qualifying repairs. You pay nothing out of pocket for covered component failures during the warranty period.
How do I know if my issue is covered?
Just reach out to our team with a description of the problem. We'll review it against the warranty terms and let you know quickly whether it qualifies. We're not in the business of finding reasons to deny claims—we're here to help.
