Benefits of Buying a Used Tractor

If you need a tractor but aren’t ready to spend a massive amount of money, you should consider buying a used tractor. Pre-owned models can save you money, but they also have plenty of other benefits. Keep reading to learn more, and call Burrows Tractor when you’re ready to buy. We have three locations in Washington and one in Oregon.

Get Years of Usage

The first big benefit of buying a used tractor is you’ll get a machine that still has plenty of life left. Farm equipment is specifically built to last for years of hard labor, so even a slightly older model will have plenty of years of work ahead of it. As long as the model has been well maintained, you can feel confident you’re making a good investment.

When looking at used tractors, aim to find one that has under 5,000 hours of usage. The more hours of usage, the more wear and tear there will be. This increases the chances that you’ll need to pay for some costly repairs in the future. You want to buy a pre-owned model that has enough usage hours to merit the reduced price but still has years of life left.

Save Money in More Ways than One

Used tractors are more affordable than new ones for many different reasons. You’ll skip the cost of a warranty since pre-owned models are no longer under warranty coverage. New machines will be costly thanks to the warranty.

Buying a used tractor will also help you avoid the effects of depreciation. A new piece of farm equipment’s value is going to greatly decline within the first few years of use. This means the original owner is the one who has to deal with the effects of depreciation. If you buy a used tractor and decide to sell it later, you’ll be able to get more of your original investment back.

Of course, used tractors have a lower asking price than new models. This will make things more affordable right at the beginning. You’re also going to pay less in taxes. You’ll save money upfront and in the long run when you buy pre-owned.

Improved Availability

If you need your farm machine fast, a used tractor is the way to go. You won’t be waiting for a new model to arrive and to get inspected. You won’t be waiting to get your loan approved or to fill out registration paperwork. This process will be much faster than buying new.
