Used Combine Harvester Benefits

Combine harvesters are almost ubiquitous among farmers because they make harvesting large amounts of barley, corn, sorghum, and other crops a snap. Harvesters go a long way toward making large-scale farming both safer and less arduous. Of course, new harvesters tend to be expensive. That’s why more and more farmers are choosing to purchase a used model. If you’d like to know more about the benefits of purchasing a used combine harvester, this guide from the experts at PrarieLand Partners has what you want to know. 

Affordability

The main benefit of purchasing a used combine harvester is that used models cost less than new ones. You stand to save thousands of dollars by going this route, money that can be reinvested in your farm. This can also allow you to afford a higher-end harvester than you could otherwise.

Better Resale Value

Depreciation is the process by which a new piece of equipment loses its value. Depreciation tends to be most extreme in the first few years of ownership. This means that if you choose to purchase a used combine harvester, you’ll be able to get more of your money back should you decide to resell it than you would if you purchased a new model. 

Reduced Environmental Impact

Manufacturing a new combine harvester takes a lot of energy and resources. If reducing your carbon footprint is important to you, buying a used combine harvester is one way to do that. In addition, purchasing a used harvester can help keep it out of the scrap heap, meaning less waste overall.
