Extended Warranty Or Not

1059 Views 10 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  Wlmitty
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Twice its been replaced by Dealer and the second one only lasted 8 months.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

they are betting the machine will hold up 2 more years and you are betting on a possible problem and paying ahead of it actually happening. then if and when it happens you get in line to have it fixed instead of fixing it yourself or taking it to a shop that will fix it today. agree with milgran.
