Exactly how hardnosed is Hustler about this "must register your warranty within 10 days from date of purchase" and "date of purchase constitutes delivery" business? I have a couple of issue with this:
#1) I didn't even think it was legal anymore to force that. There at least seems to be a prevailing notion these days that warrantly rights aren't conditional on registration, especially within a tight deadline.
#2) What happens when things are backordered? Suppose it's been more than 10 days since I ordered a bagger kit, and the warranty form is buried in the box somewhere... or maybe I live far away from my dealer, so as soon as I get the kit I'm supposed to break my neck getting the form back to him?
I realize in most cases the dealer registers the machine electronically, but that doesn't always apply 100% of the time to attachments, especially if ordered separately/later. Please tell me Hustler isn't this uptight about it.
