Farm & Agricultural Equipment Finance

Agricultural equipment finance is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of the primary production sector. Unlike standard business loans, agrifinance often features repayment schedules that align with harvest cycles and seasonal income. When we compare options for your farm, we look for lenders who understand the value and lifespan of specialized machinery like harvesters, seeders, and irrigation infrastructure. The asset serves as security, which can lead to more favorable terms than unsecured lending. The primary trade-off is between the interest rate and the flexibility of the repayment schedule; highly seasonal payments may attract slightly different terms than standard monthly repayments. We work with a variety of specialist lenders to ensure you get a solution that supports your farm's long-term sustainability.

How it works

  1. Farming Needs — Share your machinery requirements and your farm's production cycle. This helps us identify lenders with the most appropriate repayment structures.
  2. Market Comparison — We compare specialist agricultural lenders and major banks to find the most competitive indicative rates and flexible terms for your sector.
  3. Seasonal Structuring — We work with you and the lender to structure repayments that match your cash flow, whether that's monthly, quarterly, or annually.
  4. Funding Settlement — Once the paperwork is finalized, the lender pays the machinery supplier directly, ensuring a smooth transition to your new equipment.

Frequently asked questions

Can I have seasonal repayments to match my harvest?

Yes. Many of our agricultural lenders offer seasonal, bi-annual, or annual repayment structures that align with your farm's income streams from crops or livestock.

Does the finance cover second-hand harvesters?

Yes, used farm machinery is commonly financed. Lenders will typically consider the age and condition of the harvester when determining the loan term and interest rate.

What is the maximum term for farm machinery?

Terms generally range from 3 to 7 years, depending on the asset type and its expected working life on the farm.

Are agricultural loan payments tax-deductible?

In most cases, the interest and depreciation are tax-deductible for primary producers. You should consult your accountant to discuss specific incentives like the instant asset write-off.

How fast can I get a tractor financed?

Indicative approvals for tractors and standard farm gear can often be obtained within 24 to 48 hours, with full settlement usually occurring within a week.

Do you finance irrigation systems?

Yes. Irrigation and other farm infrastructure can be financed, though the documentation requirements may differ slightly from mobile machinery like tractors.
