Why You Should Buy a Brand-New Farm Tractor

It is no debate: a brand-new tractor will always cost you more than a used one of the same brand, make and model. Therefore, many first timers seeking to buy tractors for their agricultural endeavors might ask the question, "Why should I purchase a brand-new tractor as opposed to opting for a used one?" Well, the advantages of buying brand new instead of settling for a cheaper, used farm tractor are numerous, including the following:

Get exactly what you want

When it comes to the purchase of a used tractor, chances are high you will end up with a vehicle that salespeople will convince you to buy and not what you really had in mind. Brand-new tractors usually come with lots of new extras, meaning you can enjoy the latest vehicle features and technologies that may not be possible with older vehicles. For example, you may want to acquire a mini tractor equipped with a driver's cabin so that you can be shaded from harsh weather elements like intense solar heat and heavy rain when you are working on your small farm. Because a determined used tractor salesperson may not have what you are asking for in stock but he or she is still determined to make a sale out of your interest to buy, they may lure you with a good discount so as to convince you to buy what they are offering. Although you will save a few dollars by settling for a used tractor, you may after a while realize you didn't get exactly what you wanted.

Have safety and performance assurance

When you buy brand new, you won't have to worry about the history of your tractor as you will be the first person to use it. It is possible that a used tractor may have been involved in a high-impact collision, which could have resulted in extensive deterioration of some of its parts. When selling the vehicle to you, many sellers will rarely tell you what issues the vehicle has for fear of losing out on a potential deal.

Buying brand new allows you to rest easy knowing that the tractor you have obtained is safer and more efficient than any used vehicle can be. This is because tractor manufacturers usually test all the vehicles for safety and performance to ensure any potential or existing faults are rectified before putting them up for sale. What's more, the warranty that the tractor manufacturer will provide will give you the post-purchase peace of mind you so much want.

Look for a Massey Ferguson tractors sale in your area and speak with a representative from the selling company for more information.

Skinning, Butchering and Smoking: Guide to Ag Supplies for Meat

My favourite part of living on a farm is the skinning, butchering and smoking of meat. We have worked hard to keep our farm as diverse as possible, and because of that, I don't just deal with one crop all day long. Instead, I get to do a range of tasks. Whether I am smoking meat or feeding chickens, the right equipment helps. In this blog, I am going to focus on agricultural supplies and equipment for meat production but then also look at supplies for other parts of the farm as well. If you have questions, I hope these posts help you. Enjoy!
