Subject: How do you afford expensive tractors / machinery?


Eastern Ontario
Let's take a $125,000 tractor, which around here doesn't seem like much. On a five year term, that's $2300 and change a month, which I can't wrap my head around a farmer being able to pay down from cash cropping. And that's just one piece of machinery; most have multiple tractors, combines, etc..

Take a $20,000 disc. I can't see how it pays for itself; or how a farmer can afford to pay it.

Can someone help a beginning farmer out understand how farmers can have such expensive machinery and make it work? From my perspective, I just can't do the math!
