(a) It is a violation of this act for a farm equipment
manufacturer to coerce, or attempt to coerce, any farm equipment dealer to
accept delivery of any farm equipment, parts or accessories
therefor, which the farm equipment dealer has not voluntarily ordered.
(b) It is a violation of this act for a farm equipment manufacturer: (1)
To condition, or attempt to condition, the sale of any farm equipment on a
requirement that the farm equipment dealer also purchase other goods or
services; except that nothing herein shall prohibit a farm equipment
manufacturer from requiring the dealer to purchase all parts reasonably
necessary to maintain the quality of operation in the field of any farm
equipment used in such dealer's trade area; (2) to coerce or attempt to
coerce any farm equipment dealer into a refusal to purchase the farm
equipment manufactured by another farm equipment manufacturer; or (3) to
discriminate in the prices charged for farm equipment of like grade and
quality sold by the farm equipment manufacturer to similarly situated farm
equipment dealers, except that nothing herein shall prevent differentials
which make only due allowance for differences in the cost of manufacture,
sale or delivery resulting from the differing methods or quantities in
which such farm equipment is sold or delivered, by the farm equipment manufacturer.
