Start With the Intended Projects

Think about what you need the agricultural equipment or forestry machinery to do.

If you are building a foundation, consider an excavator. If you are creating holes, look into wheel loaders. If you are stacking trees, seek out feller bunchers.

The better you can articulate the tasks that the equipment needs to handle, the easier it will be to determine whether a given model can get your job done.
 

Decide Whether You Want All-Purpose or Specialized Equipment

Some types of farm and forestry equipment are built to meet general needs. They offer the versatility needed to tackle multiple projects with the same piece of equipment.

Other types of machinery are built to be specialized. They excel at a given task or at a few given tasks. They offer the best possible performance and maximized efficiency for their niche projects.

Both options offer unique benefits. The right match for your situation depends on your priorities, from buying fewer pieces of equipment to getting the job done faster.
 

Analyze Your Finances

Agricultural equipment and forestry machinery can vary widely in their cost. By establishing a budget, you will be able to instantly eliminate a number of models from your search. Anything that exceeds your price range, you can remove from consideration.

Setting a budget also helps ensure you get the highest quality farm and forestry equipment that you can afford. It's a great way to maximize your spending, whether you are investing in models with extra features or purchasing attachments and accessories.

If you want to stretch your budget farther, consider getting used agricultural equipment and forestry machinery. Thanks to depreciation, these models will be sold at a much lower price than their original cost.
