When buying used equipment from the dealership who should do the repairs? Are you as the buyer required to pay the fixes? Or should the dealership foot the bill to get it field ready?

I feel like that depends on how the equipment is priced. For example a tractor needing major repairs should be priced lower than the same tractor in acceptable operating condition by a margin of the repair cost including labor at the rate the dealer charges.
This really needs to be laid out up front when purchasing and written into your sales contract. No warranties is no warranties, in Wisconsin they have to list warranties on a contract I believe.
