Had the hydraulic pump go on our Fiat Winner 140. Rang the usual suspects, White House, Hydraulic Supermarkets, etc, then thought I would try the dealer, to be honest to find how much they were going to rip me off. Quoted £100 cheaper than the others, in a New Holland Agri box. It does pay to ring them!

Quite often the case. I remember buying trackrod ends from Krampe for very little less than the genuine JD ones and the threads stripped after a few months.

I always recommend my customers contact the main dealer. As it always pays to get a second quote. The main dealers are not daft and they need the spares business as well as selling machinery.
