Warranty
Contact a Tilmor customer support representative at 1-844-255-5864 immediately if a product purchased on tilmor.com should fail during the defined warranty period. Items purchased on tilmor.com may be manufactured by Tilmor LLC or one of our trusted partners. For all products not branded by Tilmor, the original equipment manufacturer’s warranty statement will define period, policy and procedure.

Unless otherwise stated, all serialized Tilmor products are protected against defects in materials and workmanship, under ordinary and normal use, for a period of two years from the shipping date or 1000 hours on tractor hour meter (whichever comes first). Warranties on serialized Tilmor products are transferable.

Warranty Policy
Tilmor LLC may opt to repair, replace, or issue a refund for Tilmor products that are defective or have sustained damage in shipping.
The following actions and damages are excluded from warranty:

  • Deterioration due to normal wear and tear,
  • Damage caused by an act of nature (fire, flood, wind, etc.),
  • Damage caused by accident, improper usage or negligence.

Tilmor LLC reserves the right to approve warranty repair time, decide whether to send new parts and/or request old parts for review. Our intention is to be fair to all parties (i.e. customer, repair shop and Tilmor).
