Compact Track Loaders (CTLs) are the unsung heroes of light- to mid-duty work – balancing versatility, maneuverability, and power. Whether you’re mowing hillsides, clearing brush, digging trenches, or feeding hay, CTLs can revolutionize how you operate.
The Challenge of Equipment Ownership
Owning heavy equipment is a smart investment—but it’s not without risk. Even with expert maintenance, breakdowns and unexpected repairs can happen. When they do, protection becomes more than convenience- it’s essential.
Promo Overview: What Matters
From now until July 31, 2025, every Yanmar CTL (such as the TL65RS, TL75VS, and TL100VS) purchased through Harris Trading Company receives a FREE 1-year warranty extension, raising the total factory warranty from 2 to 3 years. This isn’t a marketing gimmick – it’s a calculated advantage for equipment owners looking to manage risk, protect uptime, and optimize resale.
Let’s unpack why this offer is significant, how it works, and what it means for your business or property.
Understanding the Standard 2-Year Warranty
What’s Covered
- Duration: 2 years from purchase or 2,000 hours of use, whichever comes first
- Covered Components: Engine, hydraulics, transmission, drive system, electronics
- Included: OEM parts, labor, diagnostic services
- Application: All defects in materials or workmanship
What’s Not Covered
- Wear items: Tracks, tires, bucket edges, filters, hoses
- Some electronics/electrical components may have limited warranties
- Damage from misuse, improper maintenance, or accidents
Why 2 Years Is a Strong Starting Point
- Captures the “break-in” phase of a machine’s life
- Early-life mechanical strength typically covers most manufacturing issues
- Buyers are used to a 2-year coverage baseline from competitors
Why a 3-Year Warranty is a Big Deal
1. Extended “Stress-Free” Period
The third year is often when usage intensifies, especially in farming, landscaping, or contract work. A warranty-ed CTL translates into 3 years of peace of mind.
2. Protection Against Hidden Wear
Even moderate usage can amplify wear on hydraulics, drivetrain seals, or cooling systems. A 3-year warranty undercuts unplanned costs before they snowball.
3. Preserve Your Cash Flow
A repair in year three – in hydraulics or engine, could easily cost $5,000 or more. With coverage, you protect not just your machine, but your budget.
4. Demonstrate Commitment to Clients
For contract-based businesses, having warranty coverage can be a trust signal in your bids, reassuring clients that your equipment won’t leave them hanging.
5. Smooth Resale With Transferability
Warranty is transferable to new owners (usually at no cost. )That makes it a strong selling point when you go to sell or trade your CTL.
How the Free 1-Year Extension Works
Automatic vs. Manual Enrollment
Harris Trading Company ensures that all qualifying CTLs are automatically enrolled in the 3-year warranty at time of sale. No coupons or forms required at purchase, and no retrofit qualifiers post-sale.
Timeline Specifics
- Sale window: Now through July 31, 2025
- Warranty duration: 36 months from purchase or 3,000 hours
- Coverage applies: Only to eligible CTL models purchased before deadline
Confirming Your Coverage
Every sale includes warranty documentation and confirmation from Yanmar. We walk you through registration, whether your machine is financed or paid in full.
After July 31?
Late orders may not qualify, so internal cutoff and dealer tracking ensures no customer falls through the cracks. We’ll proactively inform anyone nearing the deadline.
Real-Life Cost Scenarios
Scenario A: Hydraulic Cylinder Failure in Y3
- Typical repair: $3,200 (parts & labor)
- WITH extended coverage: $0 out of pocket
- WITHOUT coverage: significant strain on budget (especially in slow seasons)
Scenario B: Engine Gasket Issues
- Invoice without warranty: ~$4,800
- Extended warranty covers full repair, avoids downtime and parts ordering delay
Scenario C: Fluids, Filters, Tracks—Still Your Responsibility
Routine maintenance (grease, oils, tracks) remains the owner’s job, but it doesn’t void your warranty, our service team helps you stay in compliance.
ROI Analysis
Even one covered event within 12 months of “bonus” coverage can pay for itself. Spread over heavy use or a farm cycle, coverage nearly becomes ROI-positive before your first service.
Maintenance + Warranty = Reliability
Yanmar’s Best Practices
- Scheduled servicing is required (e.g. 250 hr, 500 hr checks)
- Proper fluid and coolant specs ensure compliance
- Factory-recommended filters, belts, and hydraulic hoses protect system
How Harris Trading Helps
- We notify you of upcoming intervals via email, call, or text
- Our certified techs handle full service
- Fail to maintain? We’ll let you know before it turns into a claim issue
DIY Maintenance Items
Changing oil, greasing pins, and visually inspecting hoses/tracks at home can make warranty claims smoother. We’ll train you at delivery.
