FAQs
Common Questions from Agriculture & Farming Businesses
Does equipment breakdown cover a tractor engine failure?
Yes, sudden and accidental mechanical breakdown (not gradual wear) is covered. This includes engine failure, electrical shorts, and hydraulic system breakdowns during the season.
Is there coverage for income lost while equipment is being repaired?
Many equipment breakdown policies offer a business interruption add-on that compensates you for lost income while critical equipment is being repaired.
Isn't equipment breakdown covered by commercial property?
Standard commercial property policies cover damage from external causes — fire, storm, theft. They typically exclude mechanical or electrical breakdown from internal failure. Equipment breakdown coverage specifically addresses that internal failure scenario.
Does this cover normal wear and tear?
No — equipment breakdown covers sudden and accidental failure, not gradual deterioration or wear and tear. Routine maintenance issues and end-of-life breakdowns are generally excluded.
