Where Can I Sell Used Tractors and Agricultural Machinery?

The Agriculture sector is vital to our economy, as it supplies one of people’s very basic needs,  food. It is therefore crucial that the machinery used in the agricultural sector is reliable and regularly maintained to ensure they provide farmers with continuous productivity.  Mechanically unsound agricultural machinery costs the industry money in downtime and maintenance.


Whilst brand new agricultural equipment seems like a good option, it is costly and in a struggling economic climate saving money where possible is crucial.  This is where buying used agricultural machinery and used tractors can be a wise money saving option, and chosen carefully from reputable sellers dealing in well maintained, good quality equipment will provide you with many more hours of continuous productivity and growth. For those of you who have surplus machinery, now could be a good time to sell your machinery in order to replace, update or simply enhance your current fleet.

If you are looking to sell your used agricultural machinery and used tractors, there are two avenues you could use - through print or online.

Taking advantage of the magazine classifieds is a good option, but be sure to choose an edition which specialises in used agricultural equipment and used plant machinery – however, you should not completely rely on them – and selling via the internet will give you access to far more dealers and buyers throughout the world rather than targeting just your own geographic regions. Both options are good effective ways of advertising and print is still a great offline marketing strategy to sell your used agricultural machinery and tractors.


There are numerous benefits in using the Internet to sell used agricultural machinery and tractors. For instance:

Online directories. If you are looking to maximise your audience, then online directories would be the best option. With the whole world at your fingertips finding a buyer should not be a problem.  Research the directories within such industry to determine which one will deliver the results you are after.  Rates of advertising also differ hugely, so make sure you are getting the best deal you can, and if necessary – negotiate to get the right price!  For instance, there are some companies who will offer a yearly subscription giving you unlimited advertising for the whole year.  For regular, high volume advertisers this could save thousand in advertising fees.  One such company who offers this service  is Totallyplant.com – for an idea of the service you will receive why not visit their website – www.totallyplant.com

Via dealers. If you want to avoid the hassle of dealing with buyers directly or if you need to secure a quick sale - then dealers may be a better option for you. There are so many dealers who are actively looking to buy good quality used machinery, and whilst arguably you will receive a better price selling privately, a dealer will still give you a good and fair price, meaning you can quickly release any monies you have tied up in such equipment. By Simply searching the internet you can find many local online dealers who can assist you.

In a nutshell - the Internet is the ideal tool for buyers and sellers of used agricultural machinery and tractors like yourself.  Make the most of this convenient and effective resource and go online now to sell your used plant machinery.
