I look at the lack of added value of extended warranties by comparing the costs to a lifetime of savings if I never buy extended warranties on ANY product I buy. So far the only time I could have used an extended warranty was for one of our refrigerators where the compressor gave out prematurely. When products gave out, it was always well after an extended warranty would have been expired. I have a 2013 X540 in which I do my own basic maintenance. Keeping the air system clean, oils, etc will go a long way in getting you past an extended warranty period.
Extended Warranty Or Not
My X530 is coming up on warranty expiration and JD been offering an extended warranty now for a couple months. Now I'm down to a couple weeks to decide.
To be honest its pretty rich for an additional two years as long as under the 500hrs mark.
Ive been told that with the quality of these machines that its not practical.
I just want more opinions from real owners and should I be concerned.
My machines are very well maintained and kept in an insulated garage year round.
The only issue Ive ever had was the hour meter fogging up.
Twice its been replaced by Dealer and the second one only lasted 8 months.
Don't know what gives with that. My D170 has 250 hrs and in the same garage and never fogged up. The X530 has 230 hrs. Anyone else with an X500 series had this happen?
Well any input appreciated.
Thanks
