Your Guide to Buying Farm Equipment

The correct farm machines can help boost productivity and make your work site safer for you and your workers. That’s why we often recommend our customers to go through the points mentioned below before arriving at a dealership to explore options in person.

Read on to learn more about the considerations you’ll need to make when buying farm equipment, and then visit CCR Sales and Service. You’ll find us in Essex, VT, where we happily welcome our friends from Burlington.

Research Your Options

The first thing you’ll want to do is identify your needs and then note down the pieces of farming equipment that match your requirements. You won’t want to spend a lot of money getting the first piece of machinery you come across. Instead, you’ll want to research what options you have and focus on the must-have features you’ll want on your machine. This will help eliminate models that can’t provide you with the power and performance you expect.

Plan a Budget

Next, you’ll want to think about how much you can spend on buying a farm machine. This will help you narrow down your choices to models you can afford and avoid overpaying for features you’ll likely never use. Planning a budget also helps skip the hassles of underspending and dealing with decreased performance and output.

Check Local Regulations

Another essential thing to consider when buying a piece of farm machinery is your local rules. You’ll want to be compliant with the farm vehicle operation regulations for Vermont to enjoy a more hassle-free venture. You will also want to know the hours of service (HOS) of drivers recommended for your state.

Find a Trustworthy Seller

Finally, you’ll want to find a farm equipment dealership that you can trust. This will help you avoid getting conned by shady dealers into paying for faulty farm machines or getting equipment that isn’t worthy of the price you are paying.
