MacDon Windrower Case Study

In the world of agricultural machinery, unexpected damages can significantly impact both productivity and finances.

This case study highlights a recent claim involving a MacDon Windrower, valued at approximately $220,000.00.

The Incident

We received a claim for impact damage to the bonnet of this MacDon Windrower.

The initial estimated repair cost was in excess of $44,000.00, with a repair timeframe of three months due to parts needing to come from the USA.

Our Findings

A comprehensive inspection with an ARC Assessing Equipment Specialist

After completing the inspection, our experienced assessor identified an opportunity to repair the damaged parts locally. We contacted several potential repairers.

The Result

Within a week, we agreed on repairs with a cost of just $13,000.00 and a repair timeframe of less than a month.

This meant the unit would be repaired and back in the paddock generating income for the insured much sooner, and the insurer saved over 65%, or $30,000.00, on the repair cost.
