Why Buy a Used Seeder?

Seeding equipment, like most examples of farm equipment, is built tough and can last a long time if properly maintained. That’s why there are plenty of used seeders on the market that are still in excellent condition. If you’re interested in learning more about the benefits of purchasing used seeding equipment, check out this guide from the experts at AHW LLC. 

Reduced Cost

The first and most obvious benefit of purchasing used seeding equipment is that used seeders cost less than new ones. Even high-end models that would otherwise be very expensive can be purchased at a much lower price if you can find a used model. The money you save by purchasing a used model can then be reinvested back into your farm. 

Better Resale Value

The general rule is that used farm equipment starts to depreciate or lose value as soon as it leaves the lot. Since depreciation is the most extreme in the first few years of ownership, used seeding equipment holds its value a lot better than new seeding equipment. If you need a seeder but there’s a strong possibility that you’ll be reselling it within a few years, purchasing a used model is the right call. 

Customizations and Adjustments

Seeders often need to be carefully calibrated in order to maximize their planting efficiency. There are a lot of minor adjustments and enhancements to be made in order to get as much as you can out of your seeding equipment. Of course, if you purchase a used seeder that was previously owned by a farmer who raised similar crops to yours, that can save you a lot of time when it comes to making adjustments to your equipment.
