Planning Machinery Loans to Order at 2025 Field Days

Advanced planning for machinery finance can commence well before placing the order or making the purchase. An important first decision is what is the most suitable credit facility. Agricultural machinery, and some accessories, may be financed with Chattel Mortgage, Leasing, CHP and Rent-to-Own. Operators can have an early discussion with their accountant to decide if the same facility as used for previous acquisitions still suits the current structure and objectives of the business.

Interest rates vary with different credit facilities and may change throughout the year, depending on RBA rate decisions. To work up loan estimates to compare credit facilities and machines based on current rates, use our Finance Calculator.

Establishing how much an individual business is approved to borrow on a large asset can be important information to know in advance. This may impact the choice of make or model and may determine how much deposit the operator will need to have to make the purchase. We can assist by having the financials and credit profile of the operation assessed by the most suitable lender, and the credit limit conditionally approved. This conditional approval is subject to the financial position when the application is made.

Pre-approved machinery loans can be secured in the lead-up to an event. The process is simple, following the same steps as applying for finance after a unit is purchased or selected. We secure the best offer with the most competitive rates from the most suitable lender, source from our large lender base. This offer is based on the estimated loan amount provided by the operator. The offer is valid for a set time period after which it simply expires if not used, without obligation.

To find the right time to apply for pre-approved finance for the event you are attending, contact us online or by phone. Engage with us early and appreciate the benefits of having your individual broker working in your best interests.
