(1) At the time of receipt of payment of a reasonable offset for use by the consumer, replace the farm machinery with comparable farm machinery acceptable to the consumer;  or

(2) Repurchase the farm machinery from the buyer or lessor and refund to the buyer or lessor the full purchase price or lease price, less:

(A) A reasonable allowance for consumer use;  and

(b) The replacement or refund under subsection (a) of this section shall include payment of all collateral charges and reasonably incurred incidental charges.
