Used Farm Equipment Buying Guide
Getting used ag equipment is a great way to make the most of your budget. You’ll be able to use depreciation to your advantage, so you’ll be able to enjoy a much lower price compared to the new counterparts. But, unfortunately, not all used farm equipment is a wise investment. Some models are riddled with issues that will cost a fortune in repairs.

1. Research Your Options
When you look at used ag equipment, you have more information at your fingertips than you would for new models. You won't be stuck solely relying on the company's website and marketing materials, because you’ll have the option of reading through current owner's reviews. See which used farm equipment models are highly praised and which ones continually experience issues. Use current owners' experiences to guide your search and inform your purchasing decision.
2. Research the Given Model
Once you found the used farm equipment model that you are interested in, learn everything you can about that specific unit. The more you know about its past experience, the better you can predict its future performance. Ask for a copy of the maintenance report. Look for red flags, such as repeat issues. Ask questions about how the previous owner used the model and why they are selling it.
3. Inspect the Used Farm Equipment
If the equipment has favorable customer reviews and an encouraging past, the final step is to give it a thorough inspection. Here you are looking for potential issues that can cost you in repairs down the road. Remember that used farm equipment may look well-maintained on the outside but have hidden issues on the inside. Look over every part of the equipment. Signs of poor past maintenance are a sign of concern. You'll also want to test the various parts to ensure they work well. Do all the lights turn on? Does the engine start-up without issue? Does the equipment handle well and not veer to one side as you drive it? If the used farm equipment functions well, then you found your match!
