Why buy from a specialist arable machinery dealer?

Buying from a dealer who focuses on farm machinery means you can talk to someone who knows the kit. Richardson Machinery Sales concentrate on agricultural equipment rather than general plant, so their stock is chosen with farmers and contractors in mind. Because viewings are by appointment, you get time to look a machine over properly and ask questions before you commit.

Before you view, it helps to have a checklist. Our guide to buying a used tractor covers the basics of service history, wear and paperwork, and the same approach works for implements: check wearing parts, bearings, hydraulics and any electronics, and ask what work the machine has done.
