The choice between new and pre-owned machinery depends on your budget, operational needs, and long-term goals. New equipment comes with the latest technology, warranty coverage, and greater reliability, making it ideal for larger farms with high workloads. However, pre-owned machinery can be a cost-effective option, especially if sourced from a trusted dealer who provides service history and guarantees. Consider the machinery's condition, usage hours, and availability of replacement parts before purchasing. If you have a limited budget, pre-owned equipment can be an excellent option for starting or expanding your operations without a significant upfront investment.

Maximising the lifespan of your farming machinery involves regular maintenance and proper usage. Perform routine checks on oil levels, filters, and tyre pressures to ensure smooth operation. Lubricate moving parts to reduce wear and tear, and address minor issues promptly to prevent costly breakdowns. Clean your machinery after use to remove dirt, debris, or corrosive materials. Storing equipment in a covered area or shed protects it from weather damage. Following the manufacturer’s guidelines for operation and servicing schedules is critical for long-term reliability. Investing in quality parts and professional servicing also enhances machinery durability.

Compact tractors are smaller, lightweight machines designed for tasks on small farms, orchards, or hobby properties. They are ideal for mowing, hauling, or light-duty tilling and are easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces. Standard tractors, on the other hand, are larger and built for heavy-duty tasks like ploughing, planting, and harvesting on large farms. They have higher horsepower and greater lifting capacity, making them suitable for commercial-scale farming. The choice depends on your farm size, the types of tasks you perform, and your budget. Compact tractors are cost-effective, while standard models offer higher performance.
