What is a farm equipment appraisal?

A farm equipment appraisal is an estimate of farm equipment value based on a detailed, accurate assessment by an accredited professional with real-world industry experience.

Who should know their farm equipment value?

Knowing new and old farm equipment value through an ag equipment appraisal is important information for farm owners & managers, and farm equipment dealers. Attorneys, estate & retirement planners and administrators, lenders, insurance companies, accountants & tax planners also rely on accurate farm equipment value through appraisals.

Why perform a farm equipment appraisal?

An agricultural equipment appraisal is often requested for tax assessments, farm equipment investment decisions, estate/trust/retirement planning, farm business reorganization, and divorce settlements.

Types of equipment appraisals

Machinery Scope offers two different types of farm equipment appraisals depending on what your needs require.

Desktop Farm Equipment Appraisal

To make decisions throughout the year or to use as an assessment tool to determine the net worth of your operation year to year, a desktop equipment appraisal is a great option.

We can do a farm equipment appraisal based on industry standards and trends in the equipment marketplace without ever being onsite with the equipment. A desktop farm equipment appraisal is quick, easy, and a cost-effective way to get a non-biased value on your equipment.

Simply download our Farm Equipment Appraisal Guide, add your equipment information, and email it to appraisals@machineryscope.com. It is a quick guide with instructions. (instructions also included on the worksheet).

One of our MN-based employees will get started on your desktop farm equipment appraisal and contact you within 1 business day. For any questions, please call 877-694-1138.

On-Site Farm Equipment Appraisal

The on-site appraisal is a more detailed & accurate way to determine used farm equipment value. Since no two pieces of used farm equipment values are the same, our farm equipment appraiser will travel to the equipment site to perform an assessment for an accurate determination of the farm equipment value.

Our farm equipment appraiser will provide a professionally prepared and bound report that includes an explanation of the type of valuation approach utilize, the intended use of the appraisal, equipment descriptions, appraised value of each piece of equipment, comparable farm equipment used for valuation, and colored photos of the farm equipment.

Here’s a sample of our on-site agricultural equipment appraisal.
