Buying Farm Equipment: Questions to Ask the Dealership

One resource that many farm equipment buyers forget to utilize is the dealership staff itself. The staff members here at Manor Home Center have experience with a wide variety of different types of farm equipment, as well as extensive knowledge of the major brands. To help you make the most out of your farm equipment buying experience, here are the questions to ask your farm equipment dealer.

What Type of Farm Equipment Best Matches My Needs?

A great place to start is by considering your needs. Talk to one of our staff members about the size and overall terrain of your property, what kinds of farm equipment you already have, and overall how you intend to use the new equipment. In most cases, they will be able to make a recommendation for attachment for your existing equipment or a new piece of equipment that will be able to navigate your property and fulfill your needs.

What Brands Do You Recommend for My Budget and Needs?

Different brands have different strengths and weaknesses. For example, a particular brand may prioritize introducing the latest technology into its models over producing a durable, long lasting piece of equipment. Though this approach may lead to better short-term performance, this brand is obviously a bad fit if you are prioritizing durability and reliability. Luckily, our dealership staff is in a unique position to familiarize themselves with multiple different farm equipment brands, making them an amazing source of knowledge on this topic.

What Farm Equipment Attachments and Accessories Should I Consider?

If you want tips on how to farm more efficiently but don’t have any specific areas you want to improve or pieces of equipment you are interested in, try describing your overall situation to one of our staff members. Given how knowledgeable they are when it comes to farm equipment, they may just be able to suggest an attachment or other piece of equipment you might not have considered otherwise. It costs nothing to ask, and you are under no obligation to follow their advice, so give it a try.
