Equipment is one of the most significant investments you’ll make on the farm. During the purchasing process, you likely considered the features and quality of the machine, the price point, and your relationship with the dealership you purchased from. After the sale, that dealer relationship only grows in importance to the success of your operation.

Why choose your local OEM dealer for maintenance, parts and advice after your purchase? Experts from New Holland Parts and Service share their thoughts.

1. Your dealer is trained in the unique needs of your equipment

“New Holland service technicians go through extensive training on our equipment, from machine calibration to our genuine parts and fluids. Modern agricultural equipment is complex, so don’t trust your valuable investment with just anyone. After all, there’s no one who knows how to care for the equipment better than the brand who built it.” – Jim Franceschetti, crop harvesting product marketing manager

2. Your dealer is the only source for genuine parts and fluids

“New Holland genuine parts and fluids are specifically engineered, tested and proven to provide optimal performance for our equipment, and the only guaranteed source of genuine solutions is your New Holland Dealer. Ask your dealer about our recently launched line of lubricants for the most advanced, high-performing and flexible lubricant solutions we’ve ever offered.” – John Guilfoyle, maintenance product marketing manager

3. Your equipment – and your purchase – are protected

“Purchasing genuine parts and fluids through your trusted dealer is the best way to make sure you don’t compromise machine performance or your warranty agreement. Dealers also offer 12-month warranties on dealer-installed genuine parts to ensure you have the peace of mind that your parts will perform.” – Aaron Booth, pricing and programming manager

4. Proactive maintenance provides greater uptime

“The last thing an operator wants is machine downtime during critical seasons like planting and harvest. When you work closely with your New Holland Dealer, you can determine the best schedule for pre-season maintenance to ensure parts and fluids are in working shape before you hit the field.” – John Guilfoyle

5. Ultimate convenience

“You don’t have to sacrifice convenience when working with your local dealership. Dealers have access to extensive resources to get you the parts you need, plus the complete New Holland parts catalog is available to shop online through your local dealer at MyCNHiStore.com.” – Kristine Hornick, digital marketing manager
