Remanufactured tractor gearboxes

Problem

Value is lost when used tractor gearboxes are taken out of use. Manufacturing new gearboxes consumes a large amount of resources.

Solution: remanufactured Valtra Reman gearboxes for tractors

Used gearboxes are returned to the factory to be dismantled, cleaned and refitted with new parts to replace worn or damaged ones. Remanufacturing uses approximately 95 per cent less energy than manufacturing a new product. The gearboxes are assembled, tested and painted like new products. Customers can choose from several different models, which are quickly available direct from the warehouse.
