Farm equipment is expensive, no doubt about it. But when you have to make a major equipment purchase for your farm, you can find California farm equipment when you need it.

If you can't stomach shelling out major bucks on brand-new farm equipment, think about going to a farm equipment auction. California has an abundance of auctioneers, and you might be able to pick up a bargain on farm equipment. California farmers are also fortunate to have a number of farm fairs and shows around the state, which makes it easy to shop for tractors for sale in CA.

1. Look into financing for new California farm equipment. Paying over time will free up more cash flow for daily business operations.

2. Before you make an offer or a purchase at California tractor dealers or other farm equipment in California, thoroughly look it over.

3. Make sure you know whether there are any warranties on the farm equipment. California companies may offer a used equipment warranty you can purchase on certain brands.

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Look over farm equipment dealers in California at a farm fair

A good way to check out farm equipment in California is by attending a farm show. You can meet equipment dealers in a low-pressure, fun environment and easily compare brands without driving hundreds of miles each direction. Look over the Miller brand of equipment at the farm equipment dealers in California or at one of the many farm shows listed on the site.

I recommend: Fast Hay in Bakersfield, CA, sells the Miller brand of Nitro 4000 sprayers for better productivity on the farm.

Find farm equipment that does the work with a minimum of damage to the soil

You may be looking for special equipment that works with California's unique growing environment. If you own a vineyard, you may be in the market for equipment that doesn't disturb the delicate soil.

I recommend: The Pringle Tractor Company in Salinas or Watsonville can set you up with any type of farm tractor that you need, including the Yanmar X80 line of track tractors for working in vineyards.

Look for one-stop shopping on California tractor sales

Look for California farm equipment at a dealer that carries all the well-known brands so you can easily make comparisons among models and brands. For peace of mind, try a company with a service department to handle any needed repairs.

I recommend: The Pioneer Equipment Company, serving the central valley of California, carries many different brands, including Case IH, Kubota, Krone, Flory and Bush Hog.

Don't forget about used farm equipment available at auction

If you're looking for farm equipment for sale in California, check out a farm equipment auction. California is a great place to find previously owned equipment. If you've never attended an auction before, there are a few rules to remember. You can usually look over any farm equipment in California in advance of the auction. And remember- don't scratch your nose or your head with your number in your hand, or you might find yourself in an embarrassing situation.

I recommend: Attend a farm equipment auction of California auctioneer Ramay Auctions, located in Chico.
