Overview: Chopper Box Check Up
We put the needs of our farmer clients first. Therefore, for only $50 our team uses our multi-point inspection checklist (shown below) to review the condition of your forage box and running gear. Importantly, we alert you to any issues we see that could be problematic for your box or gear in the future. However, it is the client’s choice as to whether or not to have the additional work done. As an example, clients often do the Chopper Box Check Up either before they store a box in the winter or when they are getting it out in the spring. But, this can be done at any point and simple maintenance now can save big dollar repairs in the future. Contact us to set up an appointment or to ask questions.
