Zero Turn Mower Warranty

Published on November 11, 2025

A Machinery Scope service contract helps protect your zero turn mower against covered breakdowns due to defects in materials and workmanship on OEM-installed covered components. Whether you run a commercial landscaping crew or mow your own acreage, our plans are designed to keep you cutting season after season.

How Coverage Works

Our Powertrain+ plan goes beyond basic powertrain protection. It includes covered components in the engine and driveline plus additional critical parts listed in the contract, such as hydraulic pumps and wheel motors, and specific electrical components like the starter, alternator, ignition coil and stator, charging circuit components, and the electric PTO clutch. Coverage applies to OEM-installed parts expressly listed as covered and only for defects in materials and workmanship, subject to the terms of the contract.

Factory warranties typically run 2 to 4 years on residential models and 1 to 3 years on commercial mowers, often with hour limits. Your Machinery Scope coverage begins when OEM breakdown coverage ends by time or hours.

Best Zero Turn Mower Warranty

The best zero turn mower warranty offers more than just time, it offers confidence. When comparing warranty options, consider:

  • Length and hour limits: How long will your mower be covered?
  • Coverage depth: Are major systems like hydraulics, powertrain, and electronics included?
  • Transferability: Can the warranty increase resale value?

  • Provider reputation: Is the warranty backed by a trusted, experienced company?

Manufacturer warranties provide a strong foundation, but Machinery Scope’s extended plans deliver broader protection, flexible terms, and a streamlined claims process that keeps your new or used mower running smoothly for years to come.

What types of coverages are available?

The parts covered are the main difference between each plan. It is important to review the breakdown of what is covered by each level of protection being offered in the terms and conditions of the coverage.

  • Powertrain: This plan includes the components pertaining to the engine and transmission that oil touches. Our plans will also provide coverage on additional related components.
  • Powertrain+: Covers the hydraulic pumps and valves. In some instances, Powertrain+ will need to be purchased to cover hydraulic drive components, such as factory installed rear-wheels assist on combines.
  • Ultimate: covers several components often found in comprehensive coverage but is not to be considered “full machine” or “bumper-to-bumper.” Covered components include, but are not limited to emissions components, starter, alternator, engine block heater, ac compressor, factory installed auto steer, front axle suspension, ROPS and FOPS.

We are always happy to talk through the details of the different solutions that we can offer so that you have the information and full transparency to decide what is best for your operation.

What are the benefits of having extended warranty on my equipment?

There are numerous reasons why having an extended warranty plan might make sense for your operation. Besides being a risk management tool on your operation, having extended warranty remaining on used equipment will translate to improved resale value. For example, we estimate that used equipment with at least one year and 250 hours of coverage will have improved resale value between 1% and 5%. For dealerships, equipment that has coverage will sell more quickly than those that do not (assuming everything else being equal).

Most importantly, an extended warranty plan can save you from the financial burden of a major repair bill. Extending the protection on your equipment provides peace of mind by helping to turn an unknown variable cost into a known fixed cost.

What are the key differences between all the companies that offer coverage?

Most OEM’s offer some type of coverage. There are also independent providers, such as Machinery Scope, that offer coverage for a wide range of equipment types, makes, and models of equipment. We are proud to offer our solutions to equipment dealers so that we can protect their mainline offerings as well as competitive trades. Machinery Scope is also proud of being deeply rooted in the equipment industry, both in our farming operations and within the equipment dealerships. Our roles within the equipment dealership have included, sales, sale management, operational management, service technician, and service management. We understand this business and we are proud to leverage that to make it easy for our dealers and their customers to do business.

Another key distinction from one program to the next is how the programs are financially supported. Programs can be fully insured, reinsured, bonded, or backed by the financial strength of the administrator and/or the company offering the policies. Additionally, commercial extended service contracts are regulated differently by each state. Certain terms, products, and or programs will vary from state to state. It is not unreasonable to ask questions. At Machinery Scope, we administer the plans we provide and are proud to be backed by CNA to provide you with a product that you can count on when you need it most.

What factors determine how much my plan will cost?

As you can imagine, the cost of the coverage varies. This will depend on the following factors:

  • Age of the equipment
  • Current hours
  • Type of equipment
  • Horsepower
  • Usage
  • Prior claims history on that model (or series)
  • Requested Years of Coverage
  • Requested Hours Per Year
  • Coverage Type (Powertrain, Powertrain+, or Ultimate)
  • Deductible
