On Aug. 1, CNH Reman launched a partnership that expands its ability to provide Case IH and New Holland dealers with solutions to help farmers manage the cost of equipment ownership. As of Aug. 1, 2023, CNH Reman has signed an exclusive supplier agreement with Ihle Fabrications, LLC to offer the company's line of combine wear parts to the Case IH and New Holland dealer networks.
Through this agreement, dealers can choose from a selection of more than 117 Ihle combine wear parts to offer customers. Like CNH Reman's other product offerings, these parts will carry the company's 24-month warranty.
Bruce Krueger, CNH Reman General Manager, says the agreement will centralize the ordering process so dealers can more efficiently stock parts for their customers.
"In many cases, dealers were buying direct from Ihle, so by making these products available through our distribution channels, we not only expand the scope of our business, but it makes it easier for the dealers to source the parts they need for the end customers," Krueger said.
Depending on the commodity being harvested and the number of usage hours on the combine, Ihle CEO Doug Bass said the combine wear parts can withstand impact and wear between 2-4 times longer than OEM wear parts.
These parts are made with Hardox 450 or stainless steel, materials built to withstand wear and extend the life of the combine.
The relationship between CNH Reman and Ihle goes back to June 2021, when brothers Mike and Brian Ihle brought their Hardox steel transition cone liner to CNH Reman to use in remanufactured transition cones, which hit the market in June 2022.
