Apply for Tractor Financing Call (305) 384-8391The modern farm tractor is a sophisticated piece of precision agriculture technology. A new John Deere 8R series row-crop tractor — the kind running 300+ horsepower and equipped with GPS auto-steer, variable-rate application, and telematics — can cost $350,000 to $450,000 fully configured. The 6M series utility tractor that handles the day-to-day work on mid-size farms runs $110,000–$165,000.
Case IH's Magnum series, New Holland's T8 line, and AGCO's Fendt 900 series all occupy similar price territory for high-horsepower applications. Even mid-range Kubota tractors in the 75–130 hp range list at $55,000–$90,000 depending on configuration.
At these price points, a cash purchase depletes the working capital that farms need for seeds, inputs, and labor. For most operations, a farm tractor loan that spreads the cost over 36–60 months is not just convenient — it's the financially intelligent decision.
The challenge for many farm operators is that traditional lenders — banks, credit unions, Farm Credit institutions — have lengthy approval processes that don't match the timelines of agricultural purchasing decisions. When you find a low-hour used combine at an estate sale or a dealer offering end-of-season incentives on new stock, you need financing answers in days, not weeks.
MFE specializes in fast, direct equipment financing for agricultural businesses. We look at your operation's revenue and banking history to make fast, informed decisions — typically within 24 hours of receiving a complete application.

Prices are approximate 2026 new equipment market ranges. Used equipment typically runs 30–55% lower for comparable models. Actual dealer pricing varies by region, configuration, and available incentives.
A fixed-term loan secured by the tractor. You make regular payments over the term — typically 36–60 months — and own the tractor outright at the end. This is the most common structure for farm tractor loans and works well for operations with year-round revenue or steady cash flow.
The tractor serves as collateral, which keeps rates lower than unsecured working capital products. If you're buying a $120,000 utility tractor for a farm that generates consistent monthly revenue, standard equipment financing is usually the right choice.
Farms that generate most of their revenue during harvest — corn, soybeans, small grains, specialty crops — need payment structures that acknowledge this reality. Applying for a tractor loan in February before spring planting, with the expectation of paying down the balance in November after grain sales, is a common and legitimate financing approach.
When evaluating your application, MFE looks at annual revenue across your full operating season, not just the most recent month. We also factor in that a farm grossing $500,000 in October might show $12,000 in April — and that does not make April your "typical" revenue month.
Many farms need more than just the base tractor. A utility tractor purchase often includes a front-end loader ($8,000–$15,000), a three-point hitch rotary cutter ($4,000–$9,000), a PTO-driven finish mower, and potentially a skid steer attachment. Packaging these together — tractor + loader + implements — into a single equipment financing transaction simplifies paperwork and often results in better overall terms than financing each item separately.
For row-crop operations, the planter might be financed alongside the tractor. For livestock operations, handling equipment and feedlot infrastructure can be packaged with the tractor. Call (305) 384-8391 to discuss packaging options for your specific situation.

Dealer financing programs (John Deere Financial, CNH Industrial Capital) offer attractive promotional rates on new equipment for buyers with strong credit. MFE fills the gap for buyers who need faster decisions, are purchasing used equipment, have less-than-perfect credit, or need a lender that understands agricultural seasonality. Many farms use both — dealer financing for new major machinery, MFE for used equipment and supplementary working capital.
Tractor financing covers the machine. But running a profitable farm operation requires capital in several other areas. MFE can help with:
Seed, fertilizer, herbicides, and fuel need to be purchased before the tractor has any crop to tend. Our agriculture business loans cover operating expenses between revenue cycles.
Beyond tractors — combines, planters, irrigation, grain bins. Our farm equipment financing page covers the full range of agricultural machinery we finance.
A revolving credit line for expenses that don't fit neatly into a single loan. Draw what you need, repay as revenue arrives, draw again next season.
For farms selling to processors, distributors, or wholesalers with net-30 to net-90 payment terms — convert outstanding invoices into immediate cash rather than waiting for payment.
MFE finances all major tractor brands including John Deere, Case IH, Kubota, New Holland, AGCO (including Fendt and Massey Ferguson), Claas, and others. Both new and used tractors qualify. The brand, model, and condition may affect the terms available.
Tractor financing costs depend on the loan amount, term length, credit profile, and time in business. A $80,000 tractor financed over 48 months might carry monthly payments in the $1,900–$2,400 range depending on the rate. MFE provides specific quotes after reviewing your application.
Yes. MFE finances used tractors from all major manufacturers. The tractor's age, hours, and condition will factor into available terms. Generally, tractors less than 10 years old and under 5,000 hours will have the widest range of financing options.
MFE works with borrowers with credit scores of 600 and above for equipment financing. Below 620, additional documentation or a larger down payment may be required. Strong business revenue and banking history can offset credit score concerns.
Yes. MFE can finance a complete package including the base tractor, front loader, rear implements, and other attachments in a single transaction. This simplifies the process and often results in better terms than financing each item separately.
Down payment requirements vary based on the applicant's credit profile and the specific transaction. Some qualifying borrowers finance 100% of the equipment cost. Others may be asked to put 10–20% down. MFE will specify any down payment requirement in the offer.
Tractor financing is secured by the tractor itself, which typically means lower rates and longer terms than unsecured working capital loans. Working capital loans are better for covering operating expenses like seeds and labor, while equipment financing is specifically for acquiring physical assets.
MFE generally requires at least 6 months of business banking history. Operations with less than 2 years in business may qualify with strong revenue, good credit, or by providing additional documentation. Call (305) 384-8391 to discuss your specific situation.
