Thurlow Nunn Standen (TNS) has invested £24,000 in multi-brand diagnostic technology, enabling customers running mixed fleets to take advantage of discounted servicing and repairs through the TNS Plus programme.
TNS Plus initially launched in November last year, providing discounted maintenance for older, out-of-warranty Agco machines. This will now extend to other leading brands, including John Deere, New Holland, Claas and Kubota.
Machinery aged 10 years or older qualifies for up to 30% off labour and parts, while machines between six and 10 years are discounted by 20%.
Adam Cuttridge, head of service and branch operations at TNS, said: “Farmers are under real financial pressure right now, and replacing machinery is simply not an option for many. Keeping older equipment running reliably and cost-effectively is what this programme is all about. It has been great to see so many new faces coming through the door as a result of this initiative.
“Around a third of those using the scheme are farmers we have not worked with before, or not for a long while. That tells us there is a real appetite for this kind of support, and extending it to all makes and models should open the door to even more.”
