 Equipment and Replacement Parts

Limited Warranty Policy

Subject to the limitation and exclusions herein, free replacement parts 
will be provided at any authorized Ditch Witch dealership for any Ditch 
Witch equipment or parts manufactured by the Ditch Witch factory that 
fail due to a defect in material or workmanship within one (1) year of first 
commercial use. Free labor will be provided at any authorized Ditch 
Witch dealership for installation of parts under this warranty during the 
first year following “initial commercial” use of the serial-numbered Ditch 
Witch equipment on which it is installed. The customer is responsible 
for transporting their equipment to an authorized Ditch Witch dealership 
for all warranty work.

Exclusions from Product Warranty

All incidental or consequential damages.

All defects, damages, or injuries caused by misuse, abuse, 
improper installation, alteration, neglect, or uses other than those 
for which products were intended.

All defects, damages, or injuries caused by improper training, 
operation, or servicing of products in a manner inconsistent with 
manufacturer’s recommendations.

All engines and engine accessories (these are covered by original 
manufacturer’s warranty).

Tires, belts, and other parts which may be subject to another 
manufacturer’s warranty (such warranty will be available to 
purchaser).

ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES NOT EXPRESSLY STATED 
HEREIN, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A 
PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND MERCHANTABILITY.

IF THE PRODUCTS ARE PURCHASED FOR COMMERCIAL 
PURPOSES, AS DEFINED BY THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE, 
THEN THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES WHICH EXTEND BEYOND 
THE FACE HEREOF AND THERE ARE NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES 
OF ANY KIND WHICH EXTEND TO A COMMERCIAL BUYER. ALL 
OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY APPLY 
INCLUDING THE DUTIES IMPOSED.

Ditch Witch products have been tested to deliver acceptable 
performance in most conditions. This does not imply they will deliver 
acceptable performance in all conditions. Therefore, to assure 
suitability, products should be operated under anticipated working 
conditions prior to purchase.

Defects will be determined by an inspection within thirty (30) days of the 
date of failure of the product or part by Ditch Witch Product Support 
(DWPS) or its authorized dealer. DWPS will provide the location of its 
inspection facilities or its nearest authorized dealer upon inquiry. DWPS 
reserves the right to supply remanufactured replacements parts under 
this warranty as it deems appropriate.

Extended warranties are available upon request from your local Ditch 
Witch dealer or the Ditch Witch factory.

Some states do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or 
consequential damages, so above limitation of exclusion may not apply. 
Further, some states do not allow exclusion of or limitation of how long 
an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply. This 
limited warranty gives product owner specific legal rights and the 
product owner may also have other rights which vary from state to 
state.

For information regarding this limited warranty, contact the DWPS 
department, P.O. Box 66, Perry, OK 73077-0066, or contact your local 
dealer.
