Farm Equipment Financing: Benefits of Loan vs. Lease
Taking out a loan to purchase and leasing farm equipment both have their advantages. Which one is best for you depends on your operation’s goals at any given time. Compare the advantages of loans and leasing to find out which one best matches your farm's needs.
Loan Advantages
- You can depreciate your equipment.
- No limit on your equipment’s hours and wear.
- You’re building equity - you own the equipment when you’re done paying for it.
- Terms and payment schedules can be customized to meet your income stream.
- Equity can be rolled over every 1-3 years, helping you trade in your equipment for a new model.
- You may see tax benefits.†
Lease Advantages
- Combine leasing with PowerGard™ extended warranty, and know your total cost to use your machine.
- An opportunity to pay less upfront.
- Generally, you may make lower payments than with an instalment loan.
- You may see tax benefits.†
- Deploy equity elsewhere in your business instead of building equity in the equipment.
