Benefits of tractor finance

Some benefits of using tractor finance include:

Flexibility of payment terms:  Tractor finance can provide flexible payment options and payment terms that cater to your business. You can choose from various repayment periods, allowing you to spread the cost of the tractor over time.

Access to a wide range of tractors: Financing a tractor allows you to access a wide range of tractors, including new and used models.

Preservation of working capital: Tractor finance allows you to preserve your working capital, as you don’t need to make a large upfront payment. This frees up funds for other essential aspects of your business, such as expanding business operations, investing in new technologies, or hiring additional staff.

Access to the latest technology: Financing enables you to access the latest tractor technology without the price tag. Newer models often come with advanced features that can significantly enhance the efficiency and productivity of your farm. For example, GPS-guided tractors can save time, reduce fuel consumption, and minimize soil compaction.

Tractor finance methods

Here are three tractor finance options available for your business:

Hire Purchase: This allows you to spread the cost of a tractor over an agreed term, with fixed monthly payments. Once the final instalment is made, ownership of the tractor transfers to your business. It’s ideal for those who want to eventually own the asset outright.

Business Loans: This method provides a lump sum of capital that can be used to purchase a tractor outright. This option gives you full ownership from day one and may offer more flexibility in how funds are used, though it often requires a strong credit profile.

Finance Lease: You rent the tractor for a fixed period while retaining most of the usage rights. At the end of the term, you can either return the equipment, extend the lease, or in some cases, purchase the asset. It's a good option for keeping monthly costs lower without committing to ownership upfront.

Different types of tractors

Industrial Tractors: Industrial tractors are powerful machines primarily employed in construction and heavy-duty projects.

Row Crop Tractors: Row crop tractors, also known as agricultural tractors, are the backbone of modern agriculture. Specifically designed to navigate crop rows with precision, they offer adjustable wheel widths to accommodate different row spacing in fields.

Autonomous Tractors: Autonomous tractors represent the future of farming. They integrate advanced technology, GPS systems, and sensors to operate without human intervention, enhancing precision and productivity.

Utility Tractors:  Utility tractors adapt to an array of implements, making them ideal for a wide range of tasks, from tilling soil to powering auxiliary equipment to planting and hauling.

How long does it take to secure tractor finance?

Tractor finance often varies and depends on the business and type of finance required.
