(Wisconsin Ag Connection) -A central Wisconsin lawmaker wants to establish a policy that protects buyers of new farm equipment if those items turn out to be faulty.According to Brownfield Ag News, State Senator Jerry Petrowski of Marathon is proposing a bill similar to the so-called lemon law that gives consumers the right to a refund if the automobiles they purchase has undisclosed defects. The measure would give the manufacturer or dealership up to 30 days to repair any problems with purchased farm implements.
Any failure to do so would entitle the buyer to either a different piece of equipment or a full refund. Similar protections would also apply to lease agreements. Petrowski plans to bring the concept to the Senate Ag Committee for consideration.
