HenryG Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Bought new tracked knocker last week, phoned nfu today to insure it with the other tracked knocker that they already insure, for some reason the new machine is nearly twice the price to insure...... does anyone on here insure their knockers with anyone other than nfu?? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooresft Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Id be interested to know what they are charging you? I'm paying about 850 for mine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryG Posted August 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Bryce hd180 £670 the vector track is around £375 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tepapa Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 It will probably be based on value of machine with the NFU. And the Bryce being a valued at a lot more than the vector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryG Posted August 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Very possibly..... just wanted to make sure it was on similar line to what others are paying for theirs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCCM Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I use trust insurance based in Northamptonshire. They are a small company which I have my vehicles, house, P.L, E.L plant and tool cover with. I think to insure everything plant and tool related was about £750 including my vector.

West Fork Fence Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 All of our equipment insurance is based on value. We have a good insurance agent that does an annual review of values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 I Insure with the NFU and have a tradesman policy for my business. I have a contractors plant section with covers me for up to £100,000 for all my plant like the tracked knocker and the digger etc. Anything that doesn't go on the road is covered under this. Anything else comes under my tractor policy which is separate. My whole business insurance is just over £1600/yr, tractor is £640 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S J H Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Nfu wouldn't insure mine, because they wanted it on a separate vehicle policy. I'm with towergate now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontrowfencing Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Nfu wouldn't insure mine, because they wanted it on a separate vehicle policy. I'm with towergate now. Not saying it is no good, but I had major problems with towergate when insuring through the federation of small business. I thought they would be on my side, but they were bad. Just make sure you are clear what you ask for and bear in mind if you have a problem, you can ask for a copy of the recorded calls they keep. It toook a while, but they had to let me have them. They may be fine for you as they are only a broker at the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand what you mean charlie, but we've had problems with the nfu in the past, they won't even look at the fencing side anymore, the farm the farm they're still too dear on, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
