The Total Cost of Ownership for Farm Equipment

Before investing in any piece of farm equipment, understanding the total cost of ownership is crucial. This includes not only the initial purchase price but also operating costs, maintenance, repairs, and eventual resale value.

Assessing Operating Costs 

Operating costs can vary considerably depending on the type and size of equipment. They typically include fuel, oil, replacement parts, and any necessary property insurance or permits. Remember that more efficient machines could save you money in this area in the long run.

Maintenance and Repairs 

Regular maintenance helps prolong the lifespan of your farm equipment and minimizes repair expenses over time. But maintenance itself also comes with expenses—from providing spare parts to scheduling professional servicing.

Considering Resale Value

Farm equipment's resale value is another factor often overlooked when calculating the total cost of ownership. Tractors and other machinery with a good service record and history usually hold their value well which could lessen overall costs.
