Total Protection Plan Pays Big!

NO MATTER THE SEASON, no one ever wants to utter the words, “We broke down.” The Cenex Total Protection Plan® (TPP) can help you when breakdowns do happen. We’re going to introduce you to this powerful program through stories from some of the most experienced professionals in the ag industry.

Don Kaisand and his son-in-law, Matt Nelson, of Grinnell have invested in the Total Protection Plan for more than a decade. This spring, their operation received a second TPP check from Cenex—this time for $25,600—to cover repairs to their T8020 New Holland. “I took the tractor to Denny at Kruseman Implement in Sully, and he took care of everything,” said Matt. “Kruseman’s even submitted the invoice to Cenex, which made this process even more hassle-free.”

Many Key customers mention they’ve invested in TPP when working with Kruseman Implement. If a machine is sold back or traded in at Kruseman’s, the warranty is transferable to the new owner—the paperwork just has to be refiled with Cenex. “As much as new equipment and repairs cost, the warranty is worth it,” said Denny Van Genderen of Kruseman’s. “I see how much things can cost, and the Cenex warranty offers peace of mind for 10 years!”

The Cenex Total Protection Plan ensures that only high quality energy products are used to give you power to keep your operation running. Whether you buy new or used equipment, this is a protection plan like no other because protection is extended well beyond the original equipment manufacturer’s warranty.

“More customers are on TPP today than before,” said Alex Huyser of Kruseman’s. “About half of the new tractors and combines we sell are on TPP.”

Your Key Cooperative Certified Energy Specialists can help you prepare for the unknown and review the following program features:
  • Equipment coverage: The warranty covers new equipment for up to 10 years or 10,000 hours. Used equipment is covered for up to eight years or 8,000 hours.
  • Extended protection: With the Cenex Total Protection Plan, you’re going above and beyond original equipment manufacturer warranties.
  • Proactive reminders: You’ll receive periodic maintenance reminders to help keep your equipment in top condition.
  • Oil analysis tests: Avoid downtime with LubeScan used oil analysis fluid sample reports, which provide insight into the inner workings of your machine.
