List of Farm Equipment we can get for sale in an Auction

There are many essential equipment needed while farming and we can sometimes get luckily to find them in a farm auction. Here are the list of farm equipment that we need on our farm and can come across an auctions.
v Tractor:  It is the most important farm equipment that we see in any farm as its main function is to pull other farming equipment or help in many other farming stuffs. There are different types of tractor with different functions or uses.  The main categories of tractors are two-wheel drive and four wheel drive. In comparison to two wheel drive four wheel drive are very expensive. Some of the very popular tractors can also be found in an auction like , Case tractors, John Deere tractors, Combines  tractors and  New Holland tractors for sale.
v Plough:  It is also major equipment as plough helps us to field the crops at first place. It generally break the soil and turn the soil to kill off the surface vegetation such as weeds.
v Harrow:  It is the equipment that comes after a plough. We use them to breaks the clods of soil and loosen it so that pants can grow well. There are different types of harrows that we might come across in an auction are disc harrows, roller harrows, chain harrows and spring harrows.
v Seeder:  We use seeder to plant the seeds in the ground. They can be found in simply small to huge range. Most of they do double job of planting and fertilizing at the same it. Some of the types we can find in a farm auctions are planter,drill and air seeder.
v Fertilizer spreader:  We use this equipment to simply spread the fertilizer to the crops to improve the crops in the farm.
v Combine:   This is the most expensive equipment that we use in the farm as it plays very vital role of harvesting the crops from the field. Basically it cuts the crops separating dust and non edible parts from the crops. The leftover are used for the livestock.

Things to remember before buying or biding in online Farm Auction

  • The most important things to remember when buying in auctions are to do good research about the company before trusting them. Some aspects like commission taken by the online auctioneer and shipping cost.
  • As the process of online auctions is very easy to conduct and the bidding can be done easily on any product like land for sale, cattle for sale or farm equipment for sale.We should always remember we are bidding on in advance. 
  • We should not be carried away by an excitement as once we find any auction we should read all the details on the product or property on sale very carefully. 
  • We should also once consult a surveyor to get their professional opinion on a property.  
  • As we are bidding in an advance we should be ready with our money before the big day. 
  • It depends on the company or online auctioneers how much percent we have to pay as a commission but sometimes we can find a no commission auctions where we can post any auction free. 
  • And at last we also should get clear idea about who’s going to pay shipping charge, it totally deepens on the platform we post our auction.

What is a Farm Auction?

In basic term we understand an auction as a public sale where a property is sold at a specific time and place to a bidder. Most auctions require a person to get a bidder number or other identifying item prior to bidding. An item usually is started with low bid to higher  until an auctioneer raises the bid amount every time someone bids till there is no more bids on that item to the limited time and sell the item to the highest bidder.

                                                         Similarly a Farm Auction is also an auction specially conducted targeting the farmers as it includes many Farm Equipments, cattles, different varieties of crops, genetics and lands. Traditionally a farm auction was usually conducted once in a year where farmers sells and buys the items in the auction since it is very hard to conduct a farm auction as many farmers should be participating in it. So, nowadays an online farm auction is very popular among the farmers as it is very time efficiency we don’t have to attend the auction physically or visit the farm. Many online auction sites are there on internet to help you buy or sell your items with highest bid. As it is the  web based we can easily post our items online watch the bid and make sale fast and efficient. As some of the sites for farm auctions are free of cost or in another term  no comission auctions. Where as to conduct a traditional farm auction we have to pay higher management cost, transportation cost, product depreciation cost, and other unforeseen cost. And there are many risk too in traditional farm auction including finding a buyer or a seller or product on exact time when an auction is held. So, people prefer online auctions rather than traditionally auctions as it is less time consuming, easy to use and easy to find buyer and seller whenever you want to, all you have to is post or bid.
