Insurance Repairs — Claim Support & Repair
Claiming on insurance? HFR handles the repair side of the claim — we inspect the front in person, work out what the repair involves and advise you, then provide an official quote for your insurer. If an assessor is involved, we can clarify our quote and repair scope with them.
Accident damage
Have you damaged your front?
Most header front damage happens in a split second — a hidden fence post, a tree line, a stump buried in stubble, or a collision on the headland. Whatever happened, we've seen it and fixed it.
Frame bent, knife drive cracked, drapers shredded. We assess the full structural damage before quoting.
Impact damage to the reel, cutterbar and frame is common. We straighten and rebuild to spec.
Major structural damage. We inspect the front in person, provide an official quote for your insurer, and bring it back to field-ready condition.
Send us photos — we'll give you an honest estimate of the damage and what it'll take to fix it.

How it works
We help manage the claim — from first call to finished repair
We handle the repair side — an in-person inspection, an official quote for your insurer, and the repair once it's approved.
- Call us or submit the estimator
Send photos and details of the damage via the estimator, or call direct. We respond within 48 hours with an initial estimate and next steps.
Open the estimator → - HFR assesses the front in person
We inspect the front in person, work out what the repair involves and advise you.
- Official quote for your insurer
Once we've inspected the front, we provide an official quote for your insurer, setting out the repair scope.
- If an assessor is involved
Not every claim involves an assessor. If one is involved, we can clarify our quote and repair scope with them — so the technical side is understood before approval moves forward.
- Repair approved and completed
Once approved, we carry out the repair and get your front operating reliably in the paddock again. Pickup and delivery across SA, VIC, NSW and QLD.
Why a specialist repairer
Your claim turns on the quote — use a repairer who knows header fronts
General workshops quote repairs. HFR inspects the front in person, works out what the repair involves, and provides an official quote for your insurer — then stays available through to repair.
An official quote for your insurer
We inspect the front in person, work out what the repair involves and advise you, then provide an official quote your insurer can review.
Assessor support if needed
Not every claim involves an assessor — if an assessor is involved, we can clarify our quote and repair scope with them. Header fronts are specialist equipment; we make sure the technical side is understood correctly.
Repair quality that passes reinspection
If your insurer requires a post-repair inspection, our work stands up. Over 500 fronts back working reliably in the paddock since 2011 — structural straightening and refurbishment, not cosmetic patch jobs.

Common questions
Insurance repair questions, answered
Can you repair my header front through an insurance claim?
Yes. Whether the damage is covered is between you and your insurer — you'll need a claim number from them to get started. From there we handle the repair side: we inspect the front in person, work out what the repair involves and advise you, then provide an official quote for your insurer. If an assessor is involved, we can clarify our quote and repair scope with them. Start by sending photos through the estimator.
