Law applicable to machinery sold after January 1, 1988, not to affect prior contracts

In plain English

This law covers new farm machinery sold after January 1, 1988. It does not cancel or change any contracts between dealers and manufacturers that were already in place on September 28, 1987. When a dealer fixes farm equipment for a customer under the manufacturer's warranty, the manufacturer has to pay the dealer at least as much per hour as the dealer normally charges customers for non-warranty repairs. A dealer can choose to accept whatever payment terms the manufacturer offers instead.
