Buying used farm equipment in India
Second-hand implements are one of the fastest ways to cut farming costs. A good-condition rotavator, seed drill or thresher typically sells for 55 to 70% of its new price while still having years of work left. Combine harvesters and balers hold value longer because demand is high in the harvest window. Always inspect the working parts (blades, tynes, bearings, gearbox, belts), check for welding repairs or cracks, run the machine on the PTO before paying, and confirm any bill or warranty papers.
Each implement page below shows the typical resale range by condition, plus what to check before you buy. Compare against the new equipment prices and subsidy, and remember many implements qualify for SMAM and state farm-mechanisation subsidy when bought new.
