HARVESTER GUARD® a unique condition assessment tool for forage harvesters.
The HARVESTER GUARD® is a well thought-out and unique inspection and condition assessment tool specially for self-propelled forage harvesters (SPFH), developed by AM Machinery.
AM Machinery built and developed the HARVESTER GUARD® from scratch, based on 25 years SPFH experience. The aim of all this, is to provide customers a realistic technical diagnostic of the condition of the SPFH that we are offering. The biggest technical question with a used self-propelled forage harvester is the condition of the crop flow and main components. The SPFH has the most wear parts of all agricultural machinery. The chopping process involves complex systems, enormous forces, and wear.
AM Machinery made the decision, in 2019, to develop an inspection and condition assessment tool for self-propelled forage harvesters. As a result, every SPFH we sell comes with an AM Inspection Certificate , based on the following:
- It's objective, (NEN2767) uniform and self-learning
- Provide the same results no matter where you are in the world, different technicians should have the same result
- It’s manageable for less skilled technicians
- Has inspection guidelines and standards included
- Has the ability to include pictures and remarks
HARVESTER GUARD® gives everybody, whether locally or on the other side of the world, a realistic diagnostic of the actual condition of the forage harvester.
In Practice
The complete process of the inspection at AM Machinery takes 3 days. After our Workshop manager has approved the inspection, (module 1), automatically the repair and report module are ready for use. These modules make automatically visible the following:
- Cost calculation of the Parts and repairs of broken and rejected components.
- AM inspection certificate is generated, which also serves as the AM PREMIUM warranty certificate.
