Equipment Buying Guide
Choosing the right agricultural equipment can be overwhelming with so many options available. This guide will help you narrow down your choices based on your machine type, your application, and the features that matter most. We carry equipment from Ag Spray Equipment, BEFCO, LMC AG, and Fast Ag Solutions.
● Step 1: Know Your Machine
Identify Your Machine Type
The first step is identifying what machine you'll be using. Our equipment is designed for tractors (3-point hitch), ATVs/UTVs, skid steers, and pull-type/trailer setups. Each machine type has different mounting systems, PTO requirements, and weight limits that determine which equipment is compatible.
Key Machine Specs to Know
- PTO horsepower — required for PTO-driven implements like tillers, mowers, and spreaders
- 3-point hitch category — Category 1, 2, or 3 determines which implements fit your tractor
- Towing capacity — important for pull-type sprayers, nurse trailers, and fuel trailers
- Electrical system — 12V systems for ATV/UTV sprayers and accessories
- Mount type — 3-point hitch, skid steer quick-attach, or receiver hitch
● Step 2: Define Your Application
What job are you trying to accomplish? Different tasks require different types of equipment:
- Spraying & Application: Field sprayers, spot sprayers, boomless sprayers, nurse trailers
- Mowing & Cutting: Rotary cutters, flail mowers, finish mowers, grooming mowers
- Tilling & Soil Prep: Rotary tillers, soil pulverizers, box blades, core aerators
- Spreading & Seeding: Broadcast spreaders, drop seeders, fertilizer applicators
- Hauling & Transport: Nurse trailers, fuel trailers, tanks, utility trailers
- Hay & Forage: Hay rakes, tedders, bale handling equipment
- Landscape Maintenance: Rear blades, grading equipment, landscape rakes
● Step 3: Compare Features
Once you've narrowed down the type of equipment you need, compare models based on:
- Build quality — steel grade, weld quality, and overall construction durability
- Size and capacity — working width, tank capacity, weight rating, or volume
- PTO requirements — match the implement's PTO HP requirement to your tractor
- Pump type (for sprayers) — 12V diaphragm, gas-powered, or PTO-driven centrifugal
- Warranty coverage — all our brands include full manufacturer warranties
- Brand reputation — Ag Spray, BEFCO, LMC AG, and Fast Ag are all proven manufacturers
