“At CNH Industrial Reman, we have the gift of hindsight, meaning our engineering and quality departments constantly analyze warranty data and failure modes of the various components we offer to develop corrective actions and greatly reduce failures. This process, along with the constant communication flow from the original manufacturer of the parts allows us to remanufacture our products to the latest and greatest specifications, maximizing uptime for the end-user.”

Chandler Dalenberg, dealer development manager at CNH Industrial Reman.

CNH Industrial Reman replacement parts carry a better-than-new warranty that exceeds OEM and replacement part warranties and is backed by CNH Aftermarket Solutions.

“We are so confident in our production team and the quality of our products that we extended our warranty coverages up to 24 month. We’re able to offer the best-in-class warranty so equipment owners can enjoy peace of mind knowing we have them covered from day one.”

said Dalenberg.

Compared to repairing parts or purchasing aftermarket or salvage parts, end-customers minimize their risks when they purchase replacement parts covered by the CNH Industrial Reman warranty program.

“Over 90% of the products we offer carry the 24-month warranty for parts and labor, the exception being some of the major engine components where we promote servicing with our remanufactured engine assemblies. End-customers can learn more about the specific details by visiting their local CNH dealer.”

said Dalenberg.

If a customer chooses to install a CNH Industrial Reman part themselves or use options other than an approved CNH dealer location, warranty coverages are cut in half and will only be paid on the part. Labor is not included in the coverage for non-dealer-installed parts.

“Our loaders fill a critical niche for landscaping, ag, construction, snow removal, and rock quarries. For contractors, having reliable, high-performing machines in this size class is a crucial component to being successful,”

said Jeff Pate, director of sales for Yanmar Compact Equipment North America.

Performance

Yanmar Compact Equipment’s wheel loaders are engineered for high performance in a compact package. Operating weights for the line range from 8,422 lbs. to 15,432 lbs. The loaders feature bucket capacities ranging from 0.65 cubic yards to 2.35 cubic yards and lift capacities of 7,451 pound-force to 15,962 pound-force. Fast travel speeds, ranging from 11.8 mph to 22 mph, improve job site productivity.

The loaders have intuitive controls and include features that allow for easy operation, such as fixed travel speed mode, fully automatic accelerator mode, and auxiliary hydraulics with proportional control. Operators of all skill levels can easily manage the intuitive, multi-function joysticks.

The V4-7, V8, and V10 are equipped with electronically controlled, Tier 4 Final Yanmar diesel engines, which offer outstanding power with minimized fuel consumption. The V12 features a Deutz diesel engine that is also Tier 4 Final compliant.

Efficiency

Hydraulic quick couplers allow for fast and easy changing of attachments. Operational efficiency is further enhanced by parallel-kinematics on the V8, V10, and V12, which allow operators to lift loads with precision, without the need for constant readjustment of the load angle. As the most compact loader in the line, V4-7 has a z-bar for higher breakout forces, but the machine also features an auto-leveler mode for applications where it is more beneficial to maintain a consistent level bucket. Additionally, the V4-7 offers ECO Mode, a setting that reduces the motor speed to allow for even lower fuel consumption.

Comfort

The Yanmar Compact Equipment compact wheel loaders bring operator comfort to the forefront with a second-to-none cab experience that includes high visibility, a suspension seat, and full climate control. All models feature two doors for easy entry from either side and maximum ventilation. The machines offer smooth off-road operation thanks to an oscillating rear axle that securely transmits traction force to uneven ground. This keeps the bucket level in operation and reduces operator fatigue.

The V8, V10, and V12 come standard with enclosed cabs designed to reduce operator fatigue. Cabs are rubber-mounted for a smoother ride and feature a comfortable seat with lumbar support, cushioning and an extra high backrest. The V4-7 is available in both open- and closed-cab configurations.

Reliability

Backing up their claim of maximum reliability, Yanmar Compact Equipment offers an industry-leading 3-year/3,000-hour bumper-to-bumper warranty on its entire line of compact wheel loaders. A central lubrication system is available as an option for the V8, V10, and V12. This option provides constant lubrication while the machine is running, virtually eliminating the risk of contamination.

Maintenance Kits that provide common maintenance and wear part replacement items conveniently in one place are available for all compact wheel loaders in the line. The loaders feature maximum serviceability, with convenient access to service items allowing for long maintenance intervals.

“Many farmers have shared horror stories of using inferior land rollers that have broken down due to failure in engineering design, materials, or quality assurance testing. We feel our land rollers are the most durable and offer the best return on investment. And the best way to show farmers our confidence in the value of our land rollers is to support them with an unprecedented 10-year limited warranty. We understand the impact of downtime during a critical time for farmers; we do our best to ensure that Summers equipment is ready when it’s ‘go time.”

said Bruce Johnson, Director of Strategic Innovation and Business Development at Summers Manufacturing.

Summers builds land rollers in sizes ranging from 15-91 feet wide. The 10-year limited warranty applies to all components manufactured by Summers Manufacturing. Items such as tires, hydraulic cylinders, and bearings are covered by their respective manufacturers’ warranties.

John Deere has updated and added to its Mower Conditioner lineup for model year 2021. Zero Series MoCos help commercial and non-commercial hay producers manage tight harvest windows by getting more crop cut and ready to bale.

Notable changes include the addition of the new John Deere C500, a 5-meter, center-pivot MoCo; the redesigned John Deere C400, a 4-meter, center-pivot MoCo; and Quick Change Knives, all backed by an industry-leading, 5-year cutterbar warranty. Eight models are available, ranging in cutting widths from 2.5 meters up to 5 meters.

Zero Series MoCos can now be ordered with deliveries starting in January 2021, replacing all 600, 800 and 900 Series models. Models available include the side-pull S250, S300 and S350 machines; and center-pivot C300, C350, C400, C450 and C500 MoCos.

A new naming and numbering system help customers differentiate between center-pivot and side-pull machines, cut width and series. For example, on the C500, “C” identifies it as a center-pivot MoCo, and “S” like on the S300, shows it’s a side-pull MoCo. The next two digits “50” represent approximate cut width in meters, 5.0 meters for the C500 or 3.0 meters for the S300, and the last digit “0” identifies the MoCo series.

At a cut width of 5 meters, the C500 is 10% wider than the previous model, the 956. The wider cutting width allows the C500 to harvest more acres per hour. To move crop from the cutterbar to the conditioner rolls more efficiently, the C500 utilizes the same field-proven overshot cross auger design used on John Deere 500R Rotary Windrower platforms. This system delivers improved cut quality and reduced ash content while promoting fast dry down through improved windrow formation.

The all-new C400 is lighter, offers better weight distribution and features wider conditioning rolls than its predecessor, the 946. The lighter weight of a C400 makes it compatible with a wide range of tractors, and the wider conditioning rolls allow improved crop conditioning and windrow formation that promote fast dry down. The C400 also features a repositioned driveline above the main beam of the tongue that improves access for easier serviceability.

To further simplify routine service and maintenance, Deere is offering its new Quick Change Knife system for all model year 2021 MoCos. Quick Change Knife performance upgrade kits will also be available for most older 600, 800, and 900 series models.

Glenn Padgett, John Deere Senior Marketing Representative, said:

“The Quick Change Knife system improves the uptime of Zero Series MoCos by reducing the time needed to replace worn or damaged knives by more than 50% compared to a standard-bolted knife. Using a simple handheld tool, farmers can replace a worn or damaged knife in only a few seconds. In addition, Zero Series MoCos utilize a field-proven John Deere low-profile cutterbar, and large, reliable shear-hub-protected drive gears with a single oil-check location.”

Hay studies have proven wider windrows expose more cut crop for improved drying times. With that in mind, forming vanes, previously offered as an optional Wide Swath Kit attachment, are now base equipment on John Deere MoCos from 3 to 4 meters wide and increase their ability to spread crop up to 25% wider than a similar machine without the vanes. The C400 can be adjusted to create windrows up to 130 inches wide.

When ordering a new Zero Series MoCo, customers can choose from four field-proven conditioning options to match their preference to the crop being harvested. Choices include the impeller, an economical solution for cutting grasses and grass/legume mixes; a urethane roll conditioner for cutting thicker stemmed grasses and leafy crops such as alfalfa or clover, cane or legumes; or steel V-10 or Tri-Lobe roll conditioners that provide added durability.

A new drawbar swivel hitch is also available on 3- and 4-meter Zero Series MoCos providing improved maneuverability and ease of transport compared to standard clevis and equal angle hitches. The swivel hitch allows for greater than 90-degree turning without chatter, noise, or damage to the driveline. Depending on the model there are four hitch options to choose from – clevis for side-pull machines, equal angle, drawbar swivel, and rockshaft swivel. The 4-meter and larger center-pivot MoCos are offered exclusively with swivel hitches.

All Zero Series MoCos include an extended 5-year cutterbar warranty that covers parts and labor to help keep the cost of operation low. For more information, visit your local John Deere dealer or JohnDeere.com.

The company offers this form of added security, showing strong confidence in the quality of its products. Several major car manufacturers have also recently begun offering warranty extension programmes: a commercial decision that offers a two-fold advantage, as it demonstrates the manufacturer’s commitment to helping the customer protect the value of their investment.

The warranty extension programme is managed directly by the parent company, and allows the customer to take advantage of the best available benefits:

• specialised McCormick technicians, with dedicated training and specific knowledge of McCormick tractors, who are capable of promptly responding to every need
• use of original spare parts, the same components specifically designed to keep McCormick tractors in perfect working condition
• for tractors equipped with telemetry, the same technicians will also be able to remotely monitor their functionality, and will soon also be able to provide predictive diagnostic services, thus allowing for interventions to be carried out aimed at preventing unexpected breakdowns.

The extended warranty package can be customised to meet the needs of each individual company and tractor model.

This option can be selected at the time of the tractor’s purchase or delivery, allowing customers to ask their trusted dealers to extend the warranty period from the usual 2 years, for high-power tractors, up to 3, 4 or 5 years, or else from the standard 2,000 working hours, up to a total of 3,000, 4,000 or 5,000 working hours.

The extended warranty programme requires the tractor to undergo all the scheduled maintenance interventions foreseen for the specific model, which will ensure that it is always kept in good working order, and will provide for an excellent resale value if the customer should decide to resell their tractor.
