We make no apologies for pretty consistently
recommending that you should only buy used farm equipment from a quality and
professional source. It’s also important
to generally select good-quality equipment.
Having said that, we recognise that people will make
their own decisions and it isn’t our intention to try and frighten anybody off
going for a private purchase bargain if they think they’ve seen one. Even so, we do need to remind people to keep
a few things in mind when paying by cash for a private purchase of farm equipment.

Remember that one of the biggest advantages of paying
by cheque, bank transfer or card, is that you have an audit trail of how much
you paid should you ever need to use it.
Now we’ve said before that when purchasing from a
private individual, you probably don’t have too many consumer protection rights
but what protection you do have may be even further watered down in situations
where you can’t prove how much you paid for the item concerned or to whom you
paid the money.
