Agricultural machinery is an essential tool for modern farming

The increasing mechanisation of farming tasks is one of the main drivers of agricultural machinery sales. In agriculture, as in other similar sectors that sell machinery, it can sometimes take longer than expected to obtain products. Mutual cooperation between companies is sometimes not smooth and it can take up to 3 or 4 months before a machine is in the possession of its new owner. Often, for reasons beyond the control of the selling company, it is not possible for the selling company to deliver on time and thus to deliver the purchased product to the customer as soon as possible. Purchasing and supply problems are becoming more and more frequent for manufacturing companies these days, and the current economic situation can unfortunately rewrite the calculations in various cases. Good planning will help to ensure that the necessary machinery and parts are obtained in good time and that, when the season starts, their absence does not prevent anyone from continuing work.

How to start purchasing

One of the most important things that a farmer needs to do is to choose the right machinery and to do this he needs to be clear about its future use, i.e. what kind of work he wants to do with it. When mapping the condition of the machinery, the usability of existing equipment should be assessed and, if necessary, steps should be taken to find the products that best meet the needs. From there, it's a straightforward process of buying the machinery, knowing what you need and knowing which dealers, brands and types of products you might be interested in. It's important to consider price, quality and delivery time, and having the product in stock will speed up the process even more.

Financing new agricultural machinery

Nowadays, just as the price of cars is skyrocketing, the question of whether you have enough money to buy agricultural machinery can also arise. This may sound drastic, as we usually buy when we have the money, but there are a number of other solutions that can help farmers to avoid having to invest a large amount of money in new farm machinery at one time. Buyers have to decide whether they want to buy with their own money or whether they need to take out a loan to improve their business. The price of new machinery also depends on the manufacturer, the type of machine and the general market situation.  

The biggest enemy of the agricultural sector is time, so it is essential to take into account the maintenance and repair of machinery. Equipment will break down over time, so these repair and maintenance tasks need to be planned for in advance to keep machinery running as long as possible. Take these few very important factors into account and make sure that you allow enough time to assess the condition of the machinery and carry out the necessary repairs/maintenance.
