    The Company’s agricultural equipment products generally are warranted against defects in material and workmanship for a period of one to four years. The Company accrues for future warranty costs at the time of sale based on historical warranty experience. The Company's extended warranty period for the majority of products ranges from three to five years. Revenue is recognized for the extended warranty contracts on a straight-line basis, which the Company believes approximates the cost expected to be incurred in satisfying the obligations, over the extended warranty period. Approximately $589.4 million, $598.7 million and $661.9 million of warranty reserves are included in “Accrued expenses” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. Approximately $157.2 million, $144.3 million and $131.2 million of warranty reserves are included in “Other noncurrent liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively.

    The Company recognizes potential recoveries of the costs associated with warranties it provides when the collection is probable. When specifics of the recovery have been agreed upon with the Company’s suppliers through the confirmation of liability for the recovery, the Company records the recovery within “Accounts and notes receivable, net” in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Estimates of the amount of warranty claim recoveries to be received from the Company’s suppliers based upon contractual supplier arrangements are recorded within “Other current assets” in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
