What Do You Need?

To decide which piece of farm equipment is perfect for you, think about tasks that take you more time to accomplish than they should. Certain tasks can be tackled easily by getting the right equipment and the right attachment. Start your research online or ask your local community what they use for similar tasks. Think also about the size of your farm. While a small area doesn’t need a heavy-duty or expensive machine, a bigger area will not be covered by something small and therefore inadequate.

Budget

As with any wise decision, setting a budget will help you make the right choices. The budget should be realistic and based on what you can spend as well as the average price of the machines on the market. Also be mindful of added expenses like service and repair, fuel costs, storage fees, etc. Your budget shouldn't be so low that you can’t get a decent machine but it shouldn’t be so high that you can’t afford to use it.

Local Regulations

Before making any final agricultural equipment purchase, make sure you understand what the legal requirements for it are. This could change based on your state, county and even city. For example, in Arkansas, harvest season has been legally defined as 365 days a year, which means Hours of Service (HOS) exemptions are applicable year-round. 

Do Your Homework

Take the time to do all your research. As excited as you might be to buy the first piece of farm equipment you try, it might not be right for you. Find several different models that interest you and perform a side-by-side comparison of all the features. You’ll find one that the most helpful features for you at the best value for your budget
