Financing from traditional banks is not always an option for Aussie farmers when they need to purchase expensive farm equipment.
Banks prefer borrowers with predictable, regular revenue streams, which most farms lack. Most lenders are also not flexible enough to allow repayments aligned with farm cycles rather than the standard monthly payments.
Fortunately, farmers can still turn to private lenders for the financing they need. But it’s important that you find the right private lender who understands the agricultural industry and can offer ag financing that meets your needs.
At PSA Capital Investments, we offer affordable ag equipment loans with flexible terms that are tailored to your farm cycles. Here’s everything you need to know about farm equipment financing and how it can help you.
Who Can Apply for Ag Equipment Loans?
Each lender has their requirements, but generally, you can apply for equipment financing if you run a farm or you specialise in a particular area like harvesting, seeding, or spraying
Some lenders work with established farming businesses, while others extend loans even to new farms with limited trading history (low doc loans).
What lenders are willing to finance also varies, but most offer financing for farm machinery like tractors, farm infrastructure like silos, and the purchase of farmland.
Benefits of Farm Machinery Loans
Frees up cash flow
Farming machinery is capital-intensive. Modern combine harvesters cost as much as half a million dollars or more. Sprayers go for $200K+, and you can spend $50K or more on a grain conveyor.
Even if you have enough cash to buy a particular machine, it’s going to put a strain on your cash flow. Farm equipment financing allows you to purchase what you need without draining your reserves. You preserve your cash flow for day-to-day operations, including wages, farm supplies, and utilities.
For many farms, this is a lifeline, especially during downturns when they need sufficient cash on hand to keep the farm running.
Lets you buy high-value modern equipment
Ag equipment is getting more high-tech. It’s also more expensive than ever. Modern tractors are rolling data centres, with GPS and numerous other sensors to enable precision farming.
It’s great for efficiency and yields, but many farms, especially the smaller ones, can’t afford most of these state-of-the-art machines. They are forced to keep using older and less efficient equipment.
With farm equipment financing, more farmers can benefit from modern farming equipment to increase yields, save time, and reduce input costs. This helps farms remain competitive and increase their profit margins.
Tax benefits
Getting a loan to buy farm equipment can reduce how much tax you pay. You can claim deductions for interest payments and equipment depreciation. Talk to a tax expert to find out if you are eligible for these deductions.
