Buying used equipment for your farm can be a wise investment if done right. You can earn significant savings compared to new equipment, but skipping a thorough inspection can quickly turn those savings into losses.

To help you make a confident purchase, we’ve put together this used equipment inspection checklist so you can find equipment worth the investment.

Purchasing a new tractor is a major investment for your operation, so you don’t want to rush into it without proper planning. In today’s market, tractor prices can range from $10,000 for compact utility models up to $650,000+ for high-horsepower tractors. That broad range gives you flexibility, but it also comes with risk. Underspending might leave you with a machine that can’t handle your workload, while overspending can lead to excess capacity and hidden costs.
