Which Type of Farm Equipment is Best Suited for My Needs?

With so many options available on the market, it can be challenging to know where to start. The dealership staff can help you narrow down the options by discussing your property size, terrain type, existing equipment, and intended use of new farm equipment.

Should I Buy New or Used Agricultural Equipment?

When deciding whether to buy new or used agricultural equipment, you’ll want to consider your budget and farming needs. New equipment may offer the latest technology and a warranty, but it can be expensive. Used equipment is more affordable, but it may require more maintenance and repairs. Ultimately, the choice between new and used equipment comes down to what is best for your individual situation.

Which Brands Do You Recommend?

Not all brands will be suitable for your farm equipment needs. You’ll want to find a brand that aligns with your value prioritization and price range. Discussing your priorities with an agricultural equipment dealer staff can help them recommend the best manufacturers, reducing the number of potential options and making the shopping process easier.

What Farm Equipment Attachments and Accessories Should I Buy?

There may be implements that allow you to maximize the farm equipment's versatility or performance. The right add-ons can be a worthwhile investment, so it's wise to look at various options and get tailored suggestions from the dealership. Be sure to ask the staff about any attachments or accessories that may benefit your farm.
