Q & A
The GKB Combiseeder is also high on the list again for its ease of use , its simplicity and ultimately its performance and result .
WHY DID YOU BECOME A DEALER ?
We became a dealer because we were looking for a mounted topdresser to supply our customer base with that fitted the John Deere ProGatorTM . We had supplied other manufacturers previously and were not happy with various things . We wanted a product with a direct line to the manufacturer rather than via the importer , simply to reduce the supply chain and improve communication . As we deal directly with the manufacturer now we ’ re able to provide customer feedback right to the people who built the product . On a typical wet and windy English weather day , Tom brought a demonstrator for us to try and we were blown away by its performance . The product range suited our portfolio and the rest is history .
WHAT ’ S YOUR CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE LIKE FROM GKB ?
If I had to use one word it would be fantastic . Tom has been invaluable , providing a vast wealth of knowledge and support . We also spent time with the guys over in the factory in Holland , which really helped to build relationships . Ultimately for us , it ’ s a company and a product range that ’ s growing which we thrive on . They are constantly innovating without creating solutions to problems that aren ’ t there . For that , we thank GKB .
