Typical mistakes when ordering spare parts

When machinery stops working, time is of the essence. But it is at such moments that equipment owners often face a problem: the ordered part does not fit. The result is lost days, unnecessary costs, and a spoiled mood. To avoid this, we share our experience and recommendations.

The most common mistakes

1. Lack of accurate data on the equipment

Many people specify the model “MLT 840” or “MLT 737”, forgetting the exact modification, year of manufacture, or serial number. And these nuances are critically important.

2. Ordering by photo or by eye

A filter or hose may look familiar, but have different bore diameters or other attachments. Even millimeters matter.

3. Buying from unverified sellers

Fakes not only fail quickly, but can also damage other components.

4. Ignoring expert advice

Even experienced farmers can make mistakes. While a service consultant will immediately tell you the correct position in a minute.

5. Incorrect installation

Installing a spare part incorrectly is like not replacing it at all. This applies to belts, filters, hydraulics, and electrical components.

How to avoid problems:

- Always have the serial number (VIN) of your equipment available.

- Keep a record of previous replacements to help track your service history.

- Use the services of an authorized dealer, such as Techno-Dvir.

- If in doubt, don't hesitate to ask for advice. It's free, but it can save you hundreds of euros.

- Choose only certified original spare parts.

We select spare parts from factory catalogs, have direct access to Manitou databases, and guarantee that the ordered part is exactly what your equipment needs.
