Do the ResearchFiguring out exactly what you’re looking for can help you negotiate price and avoid emotional andfinancial stress down the line. This is probably not going to be any different than shopping for newequipment. Simply focus on the features, components, and specs that you know you’ll need for thework you have in mind. One of the hidden benefits of buying used farm equipment is that enough timehas likely passed for other buyers to have picked apart the machines and found exactly what’s wrong orlacking in each model year. This can help you narrow down your choice and avoid equipment that won’tbe right for you regardless of its used condition.Once you have a piece of used farm equipment in your sights, you can use your research skills to verifythe seller’s claims and equipment integrity. Start by asking the seller for any pertinent information ordocumentation. Get the PIN or VIN so you can check its official documentation against what the dealeroffers. Most financing companies do their own background check, so you’ll have that to back you up ifyou intend to finance, but it’s still a good idea to do your own research.Equipment InspectionWith any piece of used equipment, you’ll want to inspect and test used farm equipment before makinga purchase. If you don’t consider yourself experienced of knowledgeable enough to perform aninspection and ensure a working piece of equipment, don’t hesitate to bring along someone who does.That might be a friend, neighbor, or a worker who’ll be operating the equipment. They can serve as anadvisor and help you deal with sellers and dealers who might be using less-than-honest salesmanship.Any structural or mechanical issues should be immediate red flags, and if they don’t match up with thepicture the seller painted for you take an extra spoonful of hesitation. No used price tag is low enoughto make buying junk equipment worth it. Check controls, tires, and components for wear and match thegeneral condition against operating hours. Be wary of equipment (especially tractors and combines)
with incomplete or otherwise lacking documentation. A good sign of quality used farm equipment is theoperation record that comes with it. Keep your own records of any transaction and, once you make yourpurchase, of the tractor’s condition. If something should go wrong, it’ll be important to have solidrecords to backup your claims.With a few of these tips you should be well on your way to finding the used farm equipment you’vebeen dreaming about.
