PTO Driveline Length Check
Due to variations in distances between tractor PTO shafts and implement input shafts, drivelines may need to be shortened or a longer shaft may be required.
When fitting the implement to the tractor, the PTO driveline, with telescoping sections, must be inspected. When the sections are at the most compressed operating position, the sections must not “bottom out”.
At its shortest length, there must be at least 2 in. (50.8 mm) of clearance between each section end and opposite section end at the most compressed operating position.
When the sections are at the most extended position, there must be sufficient engagement between the sections.
At its farthest operating extension, a minimum section engagement of 33% of shaft length must be maintained.
PTO Driveline Bottoming Out Check
Stop the engine and leave the operator’s position (See “Leaving The Operator’s Position” in Operation section).
Make sure the PTO driveline and all rotating components have come to a complete stop before leaving the operator’s position (if applicable).

Warranty - RT17, RT19 Tedder
Farm King Base Limited Warranty
Farm King provides this warranty only to original retail purchasers of its products. Farm King warrants to such purchasers that all Farm King manufactured parts and components used and serviced as provided for in the Operator’s Manual shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period following delivery to the original retail purchaser of one (1) year. This limited warranty applies only to those parts and components manufactured by Farm King. Parts and components manufactured by others are subject to their manufacturer’s warranties, if any.
Farm King will fulfill this limited warranty by, at its option, repairing or replacing any covered part that is defective or is the result of improper workmanship, provided that the part is returned to Farm King within thirty (30) days of the date that such defect or improper workmanship is, or should have been, discovered. Parts must be returned through the selling representative and the buyer must prepay transportation charges.
Farm King will not be responsible for repairs or replacements that are necessitated, in whole or part, by the use of parts not manufactured by or obtained from Farm King. Under no circumstances are component parts warranted against normal wear and tear. There is no warranty on product pump seals, product pump bearings, rubber product hoses, pressure gauges, or other components that require replacement as part of normal maintenance.
Repair Parts Limited Warranty
Farm King warrants genuine Farm King replacement parts purchased after the expiration of the Farm King Limited Warranty, and used and serviced as provided for in the Operator’s Manual, to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of thirty (30) days from the invoice date for the parts. Farm King will fulfill this limited warranty by, at its option, repairing or replacing any covered part that is defective or is the result of improper workmanship, provided that the part is returned to Farm King within thirty (30) days of the date that such defect or improper workmanship is, or should have been, discovered. Such parts must be shipped to the Farm King factory at the purchaser’s expense.
What Is Not Covered
Under no circumstances does this limited warranty cover any components or parts that have been subject to the following: negligence; alteration or modification not approved by Farm King; misuse; improper storage; lack of reasonable and proper maintenance, service, or repair; normal wear; damage from failure to follow operating instructions; accident; and/or repairs that have been made with parts other than those manufactured, supplied, and or authorized by Farm King.
Authorized Dealer And Labor Costs
Repairs eligible for labor under this limited warranty must be made by Farm King or an authorized Farm King dealer. Farm King retains the exclusive discretion to determine whether it will pay labor costs for warranty repairs or replacements, and the amount of such costs that it will pay and the time in which the repairs will be made. If Farm King determines that it will pay labor costs for warranty work, it will do so by issuing a credit to the dealer’s or distributor’s account. Farm King will not approve or pay invoices sent for repairs that Farm King has not previously approved. Warranty service does not extend the original term of this limited warranty.

Warranty - RT17, RT19 Tedder
Warranty Requirements
To be covered by warranty, each new product must be registered with Farm King within thirty (30) days of delivery to original retail purchaser. If the customer decides to purchase replacement components before the warranty disposition of such components is determined, Farm King will bill the customer for such components and then credit the replacement invoice for those components later determined to be covered by this limited warranty. Any such replacement components that are determined not be covered by this limited warranty will be subject to the terms of the invoice and shall be paid for by the purchaser.
EXCLUSIVE EFFECT OF WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FARM KING DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, OR PROMISES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, OR FREEDOM FROM DEFECT OF THE COMPONENTS AND PARTS COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY AND NOT SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED FOR HEREIN.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FARM KING DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ON ITS PRODUCTS COVERED HEREIN, AND DISCLAIMS ANY RELIANCE BY THE PURCHASER ON FARM KING’S SKILL OR JUDGMENT TO SELECT OR FURNISH GOODS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE PURCHASER’S ONLY AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE BREACH OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY WARRANTY ON FARM KING’S PRODUCTS ARE THOSE SET FORTH HEREIN. IN NO EVENT SHALL FARM KING BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BY WAY OF EXAMPLE ONLY AND NOT LIMITATION, LOSS OF CROPS, LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE, OTHER COMMERCIAL LOSSES, INCONVENIENCE, OR COST OF REPLACEMENT OF RENTAL EQUIPMENT). IN NO EVENT SHALL FARM KING’S CONTRACT OR WARRANTY LIABILITY EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT. (Note that some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations and exclusion may not apply to you.) This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
Farm King neither assumes nor authorizes any person or entity, including its selling representatives, to assume any other obligations or liability in connections with the sale of covered equipment, or to make any other warranties, representations, or promises, express or implied, as to the quality, performance, or freedom from defect of the components and parts covered herein. No one is authorized to alter, modify, or enlarge this limited warranty, or its exclusions, limitations and reservations.
Corrections of defects and improper workmanship in the manner, and for the applicable time periods, provided for herein shall constitute fulfillment of all responsibilities of Farm King to the purchaser, and Farm King shall not be liable in negligence, contract, or on any other basis with respect to the subject equipment.
This limited warranty is subject to any existing conditions of supply which may directly affect Farm King’s ability to obtain materials or manufacturer replacement parts.
Buhler Industries Inc. reserves the right to make improvements in design or changes in specifications to its products at anytime, without incurring any obligation to owners of units previously sold.
