Top 5 Benefits of buying Second Hand Used Tractors

Buying a new tractor can be quite different from buying a used second-hand old tractor. Buying a second hand tractor over a new tractor will have numerous benefits.  It may be your first choice to buy a new tractor but buying a second-hand tractor also has its advantages in many different areas. A tractor is a big investment with the upfront purchase price being a large part of the cost of ownership.  Buying a new tractor also has its plus points because you are buying from a dealer directly and with the support of the manufacturer. Whereas in the case of second-hand tractors there is always uncertainty on the condition of the tractor.  Based on your budget and your needs, you have to make the decision. Let’s take a look in brief about the benefits of buying second-hand tractors over buying new tractors. 

WORK REQUIREMENTS

You should always think about the next 5-10 years and see if the tractor you are buying will support your needs in the future. Undersized tractors are dangerous to use and also does not fulfill your work demands all the time. So based on the workload you have to take the decision and if the work is minimal or not very demanding buying a second-hand tractor is the best option and it won’t lead to high maintenance costs because of the usage. When purchasing a used tractor always look for something under 5000 hours as the older machines will have more wear and tear and are likely to lead to large repairs. 

PRICE and COST

A very important and the first thing we think while buying a tractor is the price. A tractor is an investment and buying it is a very careful decision.  There are certain ownership costs that are included when you buy a new tractor.  Insurance, warranty, depreciation, and many other costs are the initial ones which you can avoid in case of a used tractor. Because that has already been covered by the owner before. It is generally possible to buy at a lower price from a private seller but it is better to buy from a dealer who can provide ownership transfer and aftersales service.  If the tractor is well maintained, then there is no harm in going for a used one and making it work at least for a few years. Buying a used vehicle also means paying less in taxes well as a lower initial price. The savings compared to buying a new tractor could be used in the maintenance and another cost of your business which seems a fair deal. 

FEATURES

Make a list of all the features you require when you want to buy a new tractor. Compare them with the one which is used and make sure all the essential features are there.  You can always expect to get some of the functions of a new tractor in an old one if that is not many years old.  The key is to check if all the features you really need are in the old tractor.  If yes, then there should be no hesitation to buy the used tractor.  The mechanisms of a used vehicle may be similar to its predecessors in the same model on a year to year basis. Technology in terms of computer and electronics get updated frequently but the basic functionality generally remains constant. 

QUALITY

If you’re in the market for buying a second-hand old tractor, it is very important to do a full inspection and note down any wear and tear.  Check for leaks, rust, abnormal noise and another issue which could indicate major issues later on.  You can see our article on things to check while buying used tractor.  It could be that your used tractor was only being ‘tested’ by the previous owner to make sure everything is ready for you. 

AVAILABILITY

Used Tractors can generally be bought and driven away by the new owners immediately. New Tractors can involve a few days of a wait due to availability, inspection, loan approvals, and registration.  If you are in a hurry, a second-hand tractor from a trusted used tractor dealer is your best option.  You can use websites such as Tractorguru.in/second-hand-tractors to search the used tractor inventory in your area and submit your interest to buy.  All information that you need such as year, hours run, photos, number of owners, and others are available in an easy to use format on this site.  Now you will not have to visit many different dealers to buy your used tractor.

नये की तुलना में पुराने ट्रॅक्टर को कम लागत लगती है जो सामान्य किसान वहन कर सकता है। इसलिए पुराने ट्रॅक्टर अच्छे होते हैं।
