One other thing about warranties, especially in high usage/multi shift operations is how the hourmeter is activated. Some manufactuers activate with key switch in on position (benefit the manufactuer), some with operator presence & key on activation (a toss up possibly), some with oil pressure sensor if electric in tje drive mode & key on (benefit the customer). I'm certain there are other ways hourmeters are activated.
