Farm Machinery Servicing

It’s a very strange thing.

Some people will service and maintain their cars in immaculate condition and yet at the same time treat their agricultural machinery with indifference and sometimes even contempt.

We are not quite sure why that is but it’s presumably linked to the fact that farm machinery looks heavy duty and manufactured to last, so, they assume it will do so with minimum intervention.

In fact, farm machinery servicing is at least as important as car servicing if not more so.  That’s because your agricultural equipment is probably directly linked to your income whereas your car may well not be.

Farm machinery servicing is important because Australia’s farming environment is particularly unforgiving where equipment is concerned.  It does n’t take long for corrosion to start to get a grip or relatively minor alignment problems to make the transition to a state where they’re in danger of shaking the item apart.

Tractor Sales – Australia and Public Auctions

We are sometimes asked to comment on the feasibility of attending plant equipment auctions.

To be clear, at White’s Tractors we are specialists in farm equipment not the ins and outs of buying at auction! There are though a few things which we think you should keep in mind before starting to go down this path for the sourcing of your equipment.

Some auctions are specialist and reserved for trade professionals only.

Keep in mind also that all public auctions usually operate strictly under the principle of ‘caveat emptor’.  That’s fancy Latin for “let the buyer beware”. In other words, you may not have much, if any, comeback should things go badly wrong with your purchase. You’d have to prove that the auction description was materially inaccurate and that is not an easy thing to do.

For the unwary and the inexperienced, there are dangers in auction-type tractor sales Australia isn’t much different to anywhere else in there being an entire science behind assessing the real value of something being offered for sale, playing the room, making sure you yourself are not being played and then bidding.
