If you’re on the hunt for harvesters, tractors, trailers, diesel engines, ride-on-mowers, generators, chain-saws, fencing, pumps…pretty much anything for your land…make sure you perform some basic quality checks before purchase at a clearing sale.
What are 5 questions you should ask when checking new or used farm equipment?
- Does the equipment offer all the features and specifications you want?
- What are similar products and competitor brands selling for at other clearing sales?
- What is the equipment’s true condition and will it work well enough for your needs?
- Are there any attachments missing and how hard are they to find?
- Can you have the equipment serviced or repaired within a reasonable distance?
If you’re in any doubt about the quality of the equipment, then simply walk away. Consider contacting your local rural buying service or farming supply store for further advice on the latest models and re-sale values of farming equipment.
