Why growers choose second-hand

In the arable farming sector, reliable machinery is essential to perform tasks smoothly and accurately. Whether it involves planting crops, packaging products or transporting them internally — a well-equipped fleet of machinery is of great value. More and more farmers are choosing to purchase used agricultural machinery instead of new ones. And that is not a crazy choice.

Purchasing second-hand arable farming machinery has several advantages that are attractive to both starting and experienced entrepreneurs:

• Financially beneficial: Used machines are significantly cheaper than new models, which leaves room for other investments within the company.
• Directly available: while new machines often have long delivery times, second-hand machines can often be used immediately.
• Sustainable choice: by giving a machine a second life, you contribute to a more sustainable use of raw materials.
• Proven reliability: Second-hand machines have often already proven themselves in practice, which provides certainty about their performance.

Commonly used second-hand machines in arable farming

1. Planting machines
Planting machines form the basis of successful cultivation. They ensure an even placement of seed potatoes or young plants, which is essential for good emergence and growth. Used planting machines are often available in good condition in various versions – from simple manual models to fully automatic systems.

2. Flowpack machines
Flowpack machines are used to pack products such as carrots, potatoes or other crops hygienically and neatly in foil. This packaging method provides a professional appearance and also extends the shelf life. A second-hand flowpack machine is ideal for companies that want to improve their packaging process without investing too much.

3. Conveyor belts
A good one conveyor belt is essential for an efficient internal logistics process on the yard or in the barn. They are used to move products between different machines or workplaces. Second-hand conveyor belts are often still in excellent condition and available in different lengths, widths and speeds. A smart addition to any automated processing process.
