The equipment need
The farm had just taken over additional land under a twenty-five-year lease.
The acreage to harvest grew sharply, beyond the capacity of its existing harvesting equipment.
The owner wanted to buy a used combine harvester while keeping cash available for inputs.
Timing was tight, set by the start of the harvest season.
- High-capacity used combine harvester
- Header and related harvesting equipment
The support described in the project
Leaseworld structured an equipment lease with a purchase option for a high-capacity used combine harvester.
The machine was appraised to confirm its value for the financing institution.
Payments were spread over 60 months, consistent with the expected service life of the machine.
A purchase option at the end of the term left the farm free to keep the combine.
The reported operational outcome
The farm harvested all of its new acreage starting with the following season.
Cash remained available for the work and supplies tied to the new land.
The added capacity was handled in-house, without relying more on custom harvesting contractors.
The cost of financing was spread over the revenue of several successive seasons.
