What we look for in agricultural machinery
We expect the advert to include the year of manufacture, operating hours or drum hours, working width or power output, and clear photos of the wear parts. For tractors and harvesters, we look at the gearbox, hydraulics and maintenance records; for attachments, bearings, coulters and frames; and for electronics, the transferability of authorisations. If any information is missing, enquire directly with the dealer via the advert; you should also arrange viewings, test drives and collection directly with the seller.

Frequently asked questions about buying second-hand agricultural machinery
Which machines are typically classified as agricultural machinery?
These include tractors, combine harvesters and forage harvesters, soil cultivation equipment such as ploughs, cultivators and rotary harrows, sowing and planting equipment, crop protection and fertiliser spreaders, as well as grassland and harvesting equipment such as balers and forage wagons. Key factors in making a choice are power output, working width and the compatibility of mounting points, the PTO shaft and hydraulic connections.
How do I assess the operating hours for tractors and combine harvesters?
For tractors, engine operating hours serve as a rough guide, whilst for combine harvesters, drum or engine hours and output per hectare are also important factors. Seasonal machinery such as combine harvesters accumulate comparatively few hours per year; more important than the sheer number here are the condition of the machine, cleaning after the season and thorough maintenance.
How can I identify wear and tear on a combine harvester’s threshing and cleaning components?
Check the threshing basket, drum beaters, shaker or rotor, sieves and elevators for wear, cracks and dents, as well as the cutting unit blades and fingers. Excessive grain breakage, grain loss or uneven running indicate worn threshing components; a look inside the grain tank and the chopping chamber reveals wear and rust damage.
What should I check on a tractor’s four-wheel drive, gearbox and PTO?
Test all gear ratios, the reverse shuttle, the four-wheel drive engagement and the differential lock under load, as well as the PTO speeds, to ensure smooth engagement and disengagement without jerking. Check for oil leaks at the axle housings and the lifting mechanism, the play in the three-point hydraulic system, and ensure that the lifting force holds the load without sagging.
What inspections and regulations are important for agricultural machinery?
Self-propelled and towed machinery used on public roads requires, depending on the design, an operating licence or registration, fully functional lighting and, in some cases, a roadworthiness test; whilst in operation, the UVV inspection in accordance with DGUV Regulation 3 must be carried out by a qualified person. Safety devices such as PTO guards, drive shaft guards and roll-over protection must be present and in good working order.
What should I look out for with tyres, tyre fitment and ballasting?
Tyres are a significant cost factor for agricultural machinery; check the tread depth, tread block wear, cracks in the sidewalls and the year of manufacture of the tyres. Suitable tyres (standard, wide or maintenance tyres) and any front and wheel weights have a noticeable impact on soil conservation, traction and the range of applications.
How important are the electronics and connectivity of modern agricultural machinery?
Modern machines use ISOBUS, GPS steering systems and terminals; check whether existing systems are activated, up to date and compatible with your existing equipment. Missing licences, outdated terminals or interfaces that cannot be retrofitted can significantly reduce practical utility and resale value.
What should be borne in mind when transporting large or wide agricultural machinery?
Harvesting machinery and attachments often exceed the permitted transport width, meaning that cutting units, front-mounted implements or wheels must be dismantled for transport, or transport trailers used. Check the permitted gross weight, permits for oversized loads, and whether driving the machine yourself over short distances makes more sense than using a low-loader.
What are the typical pitfalls when buying second-hand agricultural machinery?
Wear and tear on harvesting components, corrosion caused by aggressive fertilisers, leaking crop protection sprayers and undocumented repairs to gearboxes or hydraulic systems are often underestimated. A demonstration under realistic conditions, ideally in the field or with the machinery running, reveals faults that are not visible when the machine is stationary.
How do I get in touch with the seller of agricultural machinery?
Using the contact function in the relevant advert, you can contact the seller directly on the multilingual marketplace, without going through a dealer. You arrange viewings, field demonstrations, the price and collection directly with the seller; communication takes place via email.
How can I identify reputable sellers and filter suitable offers?
Sellers undergo a verification process, and verified sellers are marked accordingly in the listing. Using the filters for manufacturer, condition, year of manufacture, price and technical specifications such as operating hours or power output, you can find machines specifically suited to your farm and location.
Are there leasing or hire-purchase options for agricultural machinery?
For many listings, you can submit a non-binding enquiry about leasing or hire purchase directly, which can be particularly useful for seasonal workload; you can clarify the terms with the seller or financing partner. The payment process itself takes place outside the platform, as it serves purely as a marketplace.
