For almost 15 years now, the Wearparts name has been synonymous with tillage and planting tools designed to offer farmers more choice, more efficiency and a longer wear life. We’ve scoured the globe for the most durable and innovative components from manufacturers who share our belief that when farmers win, we all win.
Our focus on tillage and planting has meant we’ve always had a gap in our offering when it came to harvest season, and therefore we’re extremely excited to announce that for the first time in Wearparts history, we’re adding harvest parts to our portfolio – and an exciting new partnership with German-based manufacturer, Group Schumacher.
Who are Group Schumacher?
Originally founded in rural Germany in 1827, today Schumacher GmbH is a global group employing more than 600 people in seven offices and factories in Germany, USA, Brazil, Russia and China. Still family owned and operated, the company is a recognised world leader in the development of innovative cutting and drive systems for the perfect harvest.
There are a number of brands under the Schumacher umbrella, including Sch® cutting technology, EWM® drive systems, Rasspe® knotting and binding solutions and Radura® replacement cutting parts.
Why are Group Schumacher a good fit for Wearparts?
One of our biggest passions at Wearparts is empowering our dealers to give farmers more choice when purchasing replacement parts for their tillage, planting and harvesting equipment. In particular, we’re passionate about offering them an alternative to OEM parts which, in our experience, can be hit or miss in terms of their quality and durability even though they tend to be at the higher end of the market on price.
As a result, we’ve invested a lot of time and effort into sourcing premium quality aftermarket parts produced by companies that share our commitment to performance at the top end of the market, as well as producing our own Wearparts branded parts that meet or exceed typical OEM specifications. We’re very proud to bring our customers seed opener technology from Forges de Niaux in France and cutting-edge ag bearings from FKL in Serbia – and now world-leading cutting technology from Group Schumacher.
Schumacher is a perfect fit for Wearparts because they share our vision on innovation and long-lasting quality. Their product design process is meticulous and informed by real feedback from real farmers, incorporating clever engineering that solves operational problems for more efficient farming operations. From our first meeting with Schumacher, we were blown away by their attention to detail and excited about what their products could bring to the Wearparts range both in terms of variety and performance.
