At Belkorp Ag, our primary goal is to provide you with the best equipment available, and the knowledge to know which investment is best for you. When it comes to buying tractors, the investment can feel overwhelming - you’ll need to know what size tractor you’re looking for, what implements and attachments you’ll need, and what sort of budget you’re working with. No matter your needs, we’ve got a tractor that will get the job done. Here, we’ve broken down some important factors to take into consideration when purchasing new and used John Deere tractors.
First and foremost, you need to know what sort of budget you’re working with. Tractors can get expensive, and determining a budget will help narrow the options of what’s available to you. When determining a budget, don’t forget to consider additional costs such as maintenance, warranty, implements, etc.
Here’s the fun part. How much horsepower do you need in a tractor? How much will you need it to lift and pull? Do you have enough storage space to fit it? Most of these questions can be answered simply by considering the size of your property and the jobs you’ll be using your tractor for. Talk to one of our experts to decide what specs you’ll need in your new tractor.
A tractor can’t get much done without implements. Do some research to determine which implements will best suit your needs, and check to see that they are compatible with your John Deere tractor. With the right implements, a John Deere can get any job done, whether you’re doing some rough mowing, gardening, or in the orchard.
When shopping for a used tractor, you’ll need to consider everything you would if you were shopping for a new tractor. It’s important that your research doesn’t stop there, though. Once you’ve determined what model of used tractor is best for you, you’ll need to take a look at the specific tractor.
Don’t just take our word for it. Come take a look for yourself to make sure you know the ins and outs of the machine. Check for signs of rust or wear, and for issues such as leaks, hours, and more. Click here to check out our blog on searching for the best used tractor.
Just like buying a new tractor or even a car, you’re going to want to take your used tractor for a test drive to ensure everything operates properly. Pay attention to factors such as transmission, PTO, and driving mechanics.
Every year during harvest, we rent out tractors to farmers needing a little extra equipment. They’re typically put to some light seasonal work and returned to us with minimal wear and minimal hours. After servicing them, we’ll put them back up for sale at a discounted price. Rental returns are a great option for saving money while still knowing a tractor’s entire operation and service history.
Again, we know that purchasing a tractor can be stressful. Our staff is full of experts who will happily walk you through a tractor’s specs, capabilities, and how it will work on your property. Reach out to your local Belkorp Ag to discuss your needs.
