Farm Equipment Buying Guide

Any successful farming operation requires the use of the proper agricultural equipment to tend to crops and livestock. Whether you’re new to farming or simply replacing old and worn-out machinery on your farm, it’s important to take a few different factors into account when shopping for a new piece of farm equipment.

As your Maryland ag equipment dealer, Manor Home Center in Oakland is here to help you however we can. To that end, we’ve developed this quick guide of things you’ll want to consider before you put down your money on a machine for your farm.

Tasks

First, think about the types of jobs you need to do so that you can select a piece of farm equipment that will help you to accomplish them quickly and efficiently. For planting and tilling, you’ll need a tractor and a variety of attachments. Harvesting requires a more specialized type of machine or attachment.

Horsepower

Another important factor when buying farm equipment is how powerful it has to be. In order to use certain attachments, you’ll likely need more hydraulic power. For slogging through thick mud, you need more horsepower so that your farm equipment doesn’t stall out. Make sure you don’t purchase a piece of farm equipment that is too weak to do the work you need to do.
