Notice Title

Service Contract for Valtra Tractor

Notice Description

5 Year service contract for Valtra Tractor. We are looking to buy the 5 year service contract from Chandlers Farm equipment as they were the suppliers of the equipment and we have established a good working relationship with them. We also purchased an extended warranty from Chandlers for our new tractor, which Chandler's will enable. To ensure that we do no contravene warranty T&C we also need to ensure that the tractor is serviced correctly and does not lapse in its service schedule. Chandler's have set this up already at time of purchase with the Valtra Connect care package, which they are handing for us. As part of the sale package for the tractor a portion of the first service was included in the price, the remainder of the package will cover the items not included. Going elsewhere for servicing means that we would have paid for part servicing already and would not get the benefit of this if we did not continue to service with Chandlers and pay for complete service iteration elsewhere. Lastly, if we need to justify VFM with this purchase of a 5 year plan then it is good value when compared to pay as you go charging models, where process increase over time, for both labour costs and the consumables involved.
