Managing seasonal repayments

Seasonal repayment options for agricultural machinery can reduce pressure during quieter months and match cash inflows from cropping and livestock sales.

Some lenders offer structured repayments that increase after harvest or sale periods, or allow interest-only phases during establishment years. This can help you manage high upfront costs while keeping vital equipment in the paddock.

Farm machinery loans for new and used machinery give you more choice when upgrading, expanding or replacing critical gear.

  • Funding for dealer-supplied and private sale equipment.
  • Options for older machinery, subject to condition and valuation.
  • Ability to bundle attachments or implements into one facility.
