Guide to Finding Agricultural Equipment and Supplies

Compare equipment offers online

Many "directory" Web sites will help you search for specific agricultural equipment online.

I recommend: Search "directory" or Yellow Pages-type agricultural equipment search sites such as AG Buyer's Guide, John Deere Machine Finder, Outlook Used Farm Equipment Guide, Web Farmer or Macrae's Blue Book.

Find and order supplies easily

It is always a good idea to have multiple suppliers so you can compare prices while ensuring your needs. Pay attention to shipping details.

I recommend: Ask suppliers to notify you by email of special pricing or sales on the supplies you buy most. Get supplies from QC Supply Farm Store or Farmer Boy Ag Supply.

Get the operating manuals and maintenance materials you need

To keep any equipment you have in good working order, you need the proper manuals and maintenance.

I recommend: If you buy used equipment, Manuals.us may have the manuals you need. Managerplus offers agricultural equipment-maintenance management software that helps to schedule maintenance and repairs.

Find the equipment financing you need

Shop for financing options online.

I recommend: Farm Credit Services is a network of independently owned and operated credit and financial services institutions that serve farmers and agribusinesses. First National Equipment Financing also offers assistance.
