Our Statement of Principles

Our Principles

In a Statement of Principles approved by relevant members of both associations, farm equipment manufacturers and their dealers have agreed to provide the following tools (much of which is already available):

• Manuals (Operator, Parts, Service)
• Product Guides
• Product Service Demonstrations, Training, Seminars, or Clinics
• On-Board Diagnostics via diagnostics port or wireless interface
• Fleet Management Information
• Electronic Field Diagnostic Service Tools, and training on how to use them
• Other publications with information on service, parts, operation, and safety

End users will be able to purchase or lease these tools through authorized dealers at fair and reasonable terms.

The Statement of Principles developed by AEM members and EDA strikes the right balance between giving farmers and ranchers the tools that they need while protecting and encouraging innovation.
