Written-off fronts, bought occasionally
When an insurer writes a header front off, it is usually still a good frame with bad damage. We buy those when they come up. It is not a steady supply, which is exactly why the list exists.
Never miss a front
The Header Front Buyers Club
Tell us what brand, model and size you're after. When a matching front comes through our workshop, we'll call you first — before it goes anywhere else.
Or call us direct: 0483 964 118
How it works
Three steps, then a phone call
- You tell us what you're after. Brand, model and size go on file against your name and number. No obligation, and nothing to pay.
- A matching front comes in. We occasionally buy written-off header fronts. When one fits your brief, we rebuild it here in Swan Hill.
- You get the first call. Before it's listed anywhere, and before it goes to anyone else. Sold with a brand-new comb trailer.
Fronts come through in ones and twos, not by the truckload, so the list is how you hear first. Changed your mind about the spec, or found one elsewhere? Call us and we'll update your details.
What comes through
Rebuilt fronts, not traded-in ones
We're a repair workshop, not a dealership. What we sell is what we've rebuilt ourselves.
Rebuilt in our own workshop
Straightened, structurally repaired and refurbished in Swan Hill by the same people who repair fronts for growers and insurers all season. Nothing is sent out to a third party.
Sold with a brand-new comb trailer
Every front we sell goes out with a new comb trailer built in-house, so it can be moved between paddocks and properties the day it arrives.
Mostly MacDon and John Deere
They are the bulk of what comes through, though not the only thing. Tell us what you run and we'll note it, whatever the brand.
What we guarantee: the structural integrity of the repair. Setting the front up and calibrating it to your harvester is a separate job and your field mechanic's call, not something we cover here.
What contractors say
★★★★★
"You'd never pick where they'd cut it — it looks like a brand new MacDon front. We went from a 40ft to a 42ft front, it runs beautifully and our clients are over the moon."
