A very interesting alternative to buying your agricultural equipment at the local agricultural machinery dealer may be the price comparison and final purchase on the Internet.
More and more agricultural machinery dealers are listing their machines online. There are also interesting online portals such as the Tractor Exchange, the Technology Exchange, the Farmer Portal, and an ever-growing number of dealer-specific shops. Even the "all-round shopping world" of eBay offers a growing range of agricultural equipment.
Also we as Neuhaus do not just own one Farm machinery online store but can be found on all renowned Internet platforms with constantly changing offers. With 2000 online orders every year, this business now accounts for around 60% of our sales. Ascending trend.
For the customer, the Internet offers an excellent opportunity to compare prices and products nationwide. However, there are some points that should be considered before buying online, so as not to experience a nasty surprise.
a) The eBay platform, in particular, is flooded with Far Eastern offers. "No-name" products imported by container from the Far East quickly become home-made goods with "fanciful names." For example, you can find flail mowers of the same design in green, yellow, red, and blue, which, upon closer inspection of the photos, are absolutely identical except for the color and product name.
These are offered with different model and manufacturer names, but neither the manufacturer can be found with a thorough internet search, nor does the seller appear to be from the agricultural sector. You can find this type of flail mower on eBay in a hardware store (red model), advertised as "in-house production" in orange (just look at the multitude of slope mowers on offer that all look the same except for the color), with a fantasy Italian name from a Hungarian manufacturer in green, etc., etc., etc.
Caution is advised with such offers, because these devices are neither produced in-house nor come from southern Europe, but are pure Far East imports. Often without guarantee, operating instructions, CE and under no circumstances with a secure supply of spare parts.
b) If you have interesting products, you should definitely contact the seller before buying. Ask precise questions about the device and the possible purchase.
Attachments must be compatible with the respective tractor. If you're dealing with a specialist dealer, they will advise you on the working width that best suits your tractor. The different tools used in the attachments (hammer flails or Y-blades, etc.) should also be discussed during this discussion. This will quickly determine whether the salesperson has the necessary expertise, ideally has their own workshop, or perhaps falls more into the "garage salesman" category. In these cases, promises of warranty or service are often quickly made, but then rarely kept.
c) In addition to the pure selling price, compare the transport costs and the scope of equipment. Is a PTO shaft included? Are additional tools, knives, belts etc. included? Will you be assembled and ready to use incl. Filled in supplies? Is there a german manual? How are warranty claims made?
d) You should make sure that you find the advertised manufacturer / brand on the Internet not only on the pages of the seller. Does the manufacturer have its own homepage? As an example, here is an ebay dealer from Hungary called, the very cheap mowers under the name Talax offers. The manufacturer, which is represented among other things on the agricultural machinery Neuhaus on the German market, but is called Talex and comes from Poland. At Talex you will find completely different quality features, a secure service and prompt spare parts supply.
That's exactly what it looks like at Goldoni or Del Morino. Here you will find your own, excellently designed websites from which you can see how long and with what passion the companies produce agricultural machinery and tractors.
e) Note the specified delivery times. If anything is unclear, you should definitely ask them more precisely. Agricultural machinery Neuhaus has over 300 different attachments and an ever-growing Goldoni tractor range at its location in Mettingen. Of course, not everything can always be immediately available in the desired equipment, but a solid base of machine technology is an essential requirement in the agricultural machinery trade. Here, too, we can only warn against dubious dealers who sell and then have to wait for the next container from the Far East or who stand out as mere middlemen with no warehouse or service.
f) Ultimately, the main selling point next to the price: the payment. A reputable agricultural machinery dealer will at least offer payment on account in his own online shop. Of course, you must allow the seller to perform an appropriate credit check (via Creditreform etc.), but you have the utmost security that the dealer of the quality of his product completely trusts and you have all the options before the payment to inspect the goods and the Check the seller's information regarding quality and scope of delivery.
An alternative is certainly the purchase with prepayment. Naturally, Neuhaus offers this form of payment in its own shop, because we have the experience that the customers who buy from us a second and a third time have built up so much trust that they are convinced of the advice and the service and then gladly take a discount on the purchase price in the form of 3% discount for payment in advance.
I personally hope that I could give you a few tips for the secure online purchase of your next agricultural technology with the hand and of course I am pleased if you visit our online store.
