Neil's Parts was established in Corowa on 1973
What started as a
small tractor wrecking business in the small NSW Victorian border town of Corowa
has grown into a multi national business supplying farmers with much needed tractor,
header and cotton picker parts.
Neil's are the largest
new and used tractor and header parts specialists in Australia and back up this
claim with an extensive range of new and used replacement parts sold through four
branches and more than 80 dealers throughout Australia.
In 1978 the company
bought a small tractor wreckers in Dubbo, NSW and established a second branch. In
1982 the branch moved into new premises on 10 acres of land and new sheds were built
to house the extensive number of parts. This branch now boasts a number of buildings
exclusively housing, new parts, a engine rebuilt building, a final drive, wobble
box, transmission and gearbox rebuilt building and a tractor dismantling workshop.
Expansion continued
in 1984 when land was purchased in Toowoomba on the Darling Downs in Queensland
and the third branch was established.
Neil's fourth branch
was established in Gawler, South Australia in 1987. Expansion continued in 1990
and 1996 with the purchase of extra land and the erection of building to house the
ever increasing range of new parts. Each Neil's branch services a network of dealers
supplying them with parts and information.
To spread this information,
Neil's staff attend many field days throughout each year from Mareeba in the far
north of Queensland to Cleve on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia.
After many trips overseas
an association was set up with the Loewen Manufacturing company in Canada who make
a large range of new replacement parts for headers, usually supplying as good as
if not better product, through modification, than the original manufacturer.
The Neil's policy
is to provide the best possible part at a reasonable price and having them available
for farmers through their branches and dealer network. Up to $6 million in stock
is kept on hand at the branches. The aim is to get the parts to the farmers as quickly
as possible to reduce down time.
Our spare parts salesmen
are fully trained and we believe they are the best you will find anywhere in the
world. All our locations are online and during the harvest we offer 24 hour spare
part service.
An association with
manufacturing company Harvestaire in Western Australia has produced many new parts,
including sieves, concaves, main, return and feeder chains, knife components, reel
bats, crop lifters, chaffaires and air reels.
To be able to supply
a larger number of parts Neil's buyers spend many hours in research and sourcing
parts for tractors, headers and cotton pickers from many countries, including America,
England and Italy and now container loads of both new and used parts are shipped
quickly to Australia.
