Buying Planting and Seeding Equipment

Sometimes, buying the equipment is the hardest part of owning a farm, and not just because it’s expensive. It’s not exactly something you do every day, but you also can’t afford to guess incorrectly. That’s why, when it comes to finding the right planting and seeding equipment, Atlantic Tractor has provided some tips for finding the right machines for your property. We have locations in Maryland and elsewhere, so stop by today and let us know how we can help you.

Property Size

The biggest deciding factor when you’re choosing among your options is size. Most seeders you’ll encounter are built for slightly smaller operations, while planters are often used on industrial-sized farms. There are also other planting equipment you might need for your work, but at the end of the day, you’ll need to look at your farm to figure out the best equipment for you.

Look at how wide each piece of equipment is and the spacing. You’ll want something that allows you to maximize productivity. Keep in mind, the biggest model isn’t always better. Do a little math and decide what size will give you the best value.

Budget

Speaking of value, your budget plays an important role in what you ultimately choose. When it comes to planters, seeders, and drills, you won’t be spending chump change. Consider what you can afford and try to balance it with what’s realistic for the market. If you shop here at Atlantic Tractor, you’ll find a wide range of pre-owned equipment that might fall in a price range better suited to your budget.

Crops

Different types of crops are planted at different intervals, different depths, and different shapes. Maybe you have a few different crops you need to use your planting and seeding equipment for. While you’ve probably already done all the research on things like spacing and depth, it’s time to find a piece of equipment that’ll match your crop needs. Again, you’ll need to think about spacing for this, but also how each of your options distributes the seeds. 

There are many other ways to narrow down your options, but eventually, you’ll need to see them up close and in person.
