Warranty

[Catman8]

Do you ever wonder what is the deal with a one, two, or three year warranty on products that should last 20, 30, 40, years or in some cases a lifetime(except for wear items). These manufacturers put out all types of advertising boasting about the quality of their products they produce and then tell you they will stand behind them for a year. Does that mean they expect their product to fail one year and one day after the warranty. who decided something should last a year, why not nine monthes two days four hours and six minute warranty:confused2:

If the welds break on my box blade from poor penetration should that not be covered after a year.

Not really (wonder, I mean). Those 1-3 year warranties are there to catch imperfections in the manufacturing process or material flaws. It happens, eh?

Tractors and their implements are subjected to some pretty extreme uses PLUS constant vibration from the donk. Vibration alone will cause more problems down the track than anything else.

Even a Zippo Lighter with its 'lifetime warranty' breaks... they'll repair the casing (usually the hinge) and simply replace the whole inside.

YEP. took them up on that and sure enough the sent back the beat up (repaired)shell with all new 'guts'.

Think about it, a very beat up ZIPPO that still works is great advertising.
