Send written notice to the Farm Implement Act Administration, the dealer, and the distributor, if the new farm implement fails to perform the work for which it is intended. The implement must be properly used and maintained and used under reasonable operating conditions.

When must the failure occur?
The failure must occur within any of the first 10 days of actual use of the farm implement, whether or not those days are consecutive, or within the first 50 hours of actual use.

What happens after notice is given?
Upon receiving formal notification, the dealer and distributor have seven days to make the farm implement perform in a satisfactory manner. If the farm implement is not working properly within the seven days, the dealer or distributor shall provide the farmer with a satisfactory substitute until the implement is made to perform in a satisfactory manner.

What happens if the dealer and distributor are unable to make the implement perform properly?
If, within a reasonable amount of time after providing the substitute farm implement to the purchaser, the dealer or distributor fails to make the purchaser’s farm implement perform in a satisfactory manner, the dealer or distributor shall either

• Replace the farm implement with one that is acceptable to the farmer, OR
• Terminate the sale agreement.
