Used fronts for sale

MacDon fronts for sale

We occasionally buy written-off MacDon fronts, rebuild them completely in our Swan Hill workshop, and sell them as ready-to-go packages — with a brand-new comb trailer included. Every front we sell has been through the same full repair process we apply to customer jobs.

You're buying from the workshop that repaired it — not a marketplace listing. We know exactly what was done and how every front we sell was built back.
