Selling agricultural and groundcare equipment

All 30 guides in this topic

• Agricultural trailers: document identity, configuration and prior use

  Prepare an agricultural trailer sale with identity, configuration, previous loads and repair records. Keep the dossier separate from transport approval.

• Balers: document the bale counter and service work together

  Prepare a baler sale with a labelled bale-counter record, service timeline and included controls. Explain counter gaps without predicting remaining life.

• Combine harvesters: make the configuration clear before valuation

  Prepare a combine valuation pack with exact configuration, labelled counters, service records and included headers. Separate observed facts from options.

• Combine headers and trailers: one package or several lots?

  Compare selling a combine, headers and trailers together or separately. Map ownership, compatibility and collection dependencies before fixing the lots.

• Commercial ride-on mowers: show the deck and service history

  Prepare a commercial ride-on mower sale with separate deck identity, counter history and service evidence. Make later deck changes and release dates clear.

• Compact tractors: decide how to package groundcare attachments

  Compare a compact tractor package with separate groundcare attachment lots. Use fitment records, shared controls and removal scope to define each option.

• Cultivators and power harrows: distinguish the implement being offered

  Identify the actual cultivator or power harrow before sale. Separate driven components, passive implements and combined packages using maker records.

• Farm ATVs and utility vehicles: record use and included accessories

  Prepare a farm ATV or utility vehicle sale with identity, work history, accessories and alteration records. State what is known without extending road-use claims.

• Farm machinery after years in storage: disclose what is known

  Describe farm machinery after long storage with a dated timeline, current observations and a gap list. Keep past operation separate from present condition.

• Fertiliser spreaders: be specific about controls and corrosion

  Describe a fertiliser spreader with exact controls, discs, material history and dated corrosion photographs. Separate visible condition from technical findings.

• Flail mowers: record guards and the machine's identity

  Prepare a flail mower sale using identity, guarding records and dated condition evidence. Separate safe owner observations from specialist assessment.

• Forage harvesters: map headers and sharpening equipment to the lot

  Map a forage harvester's headers, controls, service records and included sharpening equipment. Keep ownership and compatibility gaps visible before valuation.

• Front loaders and tractor attachments: prove the pairing

  Sell a tractor loader with a clear record of its brackets, controls and implements. Check the complete package before offering the loader as a separate lot.

• Grain augers and conveyors: separate fixed equipment from movable lots

  Define a grain auger or conveyor sale around ownership, fixed connections and shared controls. Build a boundary plan before promising a movable equipment lot.

• Grain dryers: start with the site and service records

  Before selling a grain dryer, prepare a specialist survey brief covering ownership, fuel-system records, shared services, access and removal boundaries.

• Hedge cutters: account for the controls and mounting equipment

  Account for a tractor-mounted hedge cutter's arm, head, controls and mounting equipment. Label loose components and define whether the sale is a complete system.

• Irrigation pumps and reels: define the equipment package

  Define an irrigation equipment sale by listing the pump, drive, reel, hoses and accessories. Separate the hardware from permanent services and permissions.

• Mower conditioners: describe width, drive and fitted configuration

  Describe a mower conditioner using its exact configuration, documented working width and transport dimensions. Keep guarding and service evidence separate.

• Planning farm machinery dispersal lots around shared equipment

  Map tractors, attachments, controls and retained equipment before a farm machinery dispersal. Allocate shared items once and set workable release dependencies.

• Ploughs: identify bodies and wearing parts without guessing compatibility

  List a plough and its spares using exact configuration, marked part numbers and repair evidence. Keep unidentified wearing parts outside compatibility claims.

• Precision farming screens: keep field data out of the equipment handover

  Plan a precision farming screen sale by separating hardware, software rights, account links and field data. Record what transfers and needs confirmation.

• PTO-driven equipment: ask for the right guarding and manual records

  Gather the implement, shaft, guarding and tractor-pairing records for PTO-driven equipment. Use a document request sheet before making completeness claims.

• Rakes and tedders: account for missing and replacement components

  Record missing, repaired and replacement parts on a rake or tedder before sale. Use a discrepancy register without assuming visually similar parts are compatible.

• Seasonal machinery: plan the release date around actual work

  Choose a farm machinery release date around remaining work, assessment and collection. Use a backward calendar without assuming a seasonal price premium.

• Seed drills: what happens to the control box and calibration records?

  Prepare a seed drill sale with its controller, cables, metering components and dated calibration records. State what transfers and what the records actually show.

• Selling a farm tractor: assemble the machine's working history

  Prepare a farm tractor sale file with identity, service history, configuration and known faults. Match each record to the machine before requesting a valuation.

• Stump grinders: describe wear through evidence rather than estimates

  Describe a stump grinder's cutter wear with dated photographs, parts records and specialist findings. Avoid unsupported wear percentages or remaining-life claims.

• Tractor wheels, tyres and ballast: settle what goes with the sale

  Decide which tractor wheels, tyres and ballast belong in the sale. Use an inclusion schedule and fitment evidence before splitting accessories into separate lots.

• Used crop sprayers: gather records before discussing a sale

  Prepare a used crop sprayer sale with identity, test records, previous products and a clear residue enquiry. Keep testing and contamination questions separate.

• Wood chippers: keep the maintenance history with the machine

  Prepare a used wood chipper sale with dated service work, specific defects and a specialist enquiry. Match machine identity, readings and records.
