What To Consider Before Buying Used Planting Equipment

Whether you’re at the start of a new planting season or gearing up for next season, dependable planting equipment you can count on to properly and efficiently sow your crops is a must for farming operations of all sizes. If it’s the right time to purchase planting and seeding equipment to support your work in the fields, you’ll want to start the search by weighing the choice between buying new or used planting equipment.

At Grossenburg Implement Inc., we know that purchasing any agricultural equipment is a considerable investment. Across our nine locations, we have a robust inventory of used John Deere planters for sale. We offer new John Deere planting and seeding equipment too, but we make it our mission to help you find the best product for a reasonable price — and one of our used John Deere planters might be just what you need.

What’s the Benefit of Buying a Used John Deere Planter?

The cost savings is the primary benefit of buying older John Deere planter models. Well-maintained used planting equipment can deliver comparable performance to a new model, offering substantial value for your money. Going the used planting equipment route allows you to stretch your equipment budget further, which is especially helpful if you’re looking to buy multiple pieces of agricultural equipment this year.

All our used John Deere planters for sale come with proven performance records, and we carefully inspect every model so we can make any necessary repairs. If any repairs are needed, we use OEM replacement parts in most cases to put the machinery back into factory specs. We even offer complete inspection and repair reports for each model. With a few years of built-up reputation, you can learn how the used planting equipment has performed in real-world conditions and make an informed decision based on that track record.

Plus, John Deere equipment models tend to stand out from the crowd. Known for durability and higher performance, John Deere planters are built to last — generally, that doesn’t stop being true just because a John Deere planter has had a few years of use. Even old John Deere planter models offer reliable service, and the John Deere brand is a smart choice for used equipment purchases.

Buying New Versus Old John Deere Planting Equipment

When deciding whether to buy new or used, it’s essential to consider your specific needs, budget, and long-term plans. While used planters are often a better choice for budget-conscious farmers, it might not be the best choice for your needs. If the latest technology is your top priority, a new model might be the better choice.

When you buy a new model, you’ll get the newest John Deere technology and features available. You’ll also be able to choose customizations that can bump up your machine’s performance and convenience features. At Grossenburg Implement, our used John Deere planter inventory varies by location. Many of our used models offer advanced features that perform similarly to new model offerings, but there’s a chance the features you need won’t be available on a used model. If that’s the case, we can help you find a new model that fits your performance needs and budget, or you can work with our talented service team to add on after-market parts to further optimize one of our used models.
