As well as being the authorised dealerships for Claas, Amazone, Väderstad and Seed Hawk, among others, the Claas Harvest Centre network boasts an impressive collection of second hand equipment for sale.
Among the many benefits of buying from a well-recognised dealership is that all machines, including the fronts, are subject to a thorough post-harvest inspection and repair process.
Carried out by Claas-trained expert technicians and using genuine parts, all machines are provided with detailed reports for works carried out before being put on display.
The customer can have peace of mind that any harvester they buy though a CHC has been regularly maintained and prepared, ready for harvest.
There are 17 Claas Harvest Centres across Australia, nine of which are owned by the company.
Customers who have taken up its preventative maintenance programs have seen a reduction in season interruptions and downtime, saving money, the company says.
“Once a customer has purchased a machine, they become eligible for incentivised seasonal Post Harvest Inspections, where early confirmation allows us to order parts and plan service repairs in the most cost effective and timely manner,” the company says.
“We carry out the inspection at the end of the harvest at discounted rates to our customers. It helps us plan for labour, parts and transport.”
“If the customer decides to trade the equipment on new, we can also fairly value the cost of repair to the customer to optimise the return on their Lexion investment if they trade,” CHC says.
