Insurance Repairs — We Handle the Claim
Most header front damage is an insurance job. HFR handles the repair side of the claim — we assess the damage, prepare the documentation your insurer needs, and can work directly with your assessor when one is appointed, so you're not stuck in the middle.
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 assess the extent, document it for your insurer, and bring it back to field-ready condition.
Send us photos — we'll give you an honest assessment 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 take on the documentation — preparing what your insurer needs and working with your assessor when one is appointed.
- 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 assessment and next steps.
Open the estimator → - HFR inspects and documents the damage
We carry out a full structural inspection — photographs, measurements, and a written damage report. This becomes the foundation of your insurance claim.
- Structured quote prepared to insurer requirements
We prepare the repair quote in the format insurers and assessors require — itemised, documented, and ready to submit. No ambiguity, no back-and-forth over paperwork.
- We can work with your assessor if required
Not every claim involves an assessor. If yours does, we're available to clarify our quotes, proposals, or repair scope — 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 insurer needs more than a quote — use a repairer who knows how to deliver it
General workshops quote repairs. HFR documents them in the format your insurer and assessor require — and stays available to support the claim through to repair.
Insurer-ready documentation
Itemised damage reports, photographic evidence, and structured quotes prepared to insurer specifications — everything your assessor needs to review the claim without the usual back-and-forth.
Assessor support if needed
Not every claim involves an assessor — but if yours does, we can step in to clarify our quotes, proposals, or repair scope. 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.
