-

Our specialists can run you through how easy it is to secure a Low Doc Agricultural Machinery or Equipment Finance approval over the phone in 5 minutes. Feel free to call us on 1300 842 911 to find out how little documentation we need for your machinery loan approval.

Some banks and lenders will require deposits whilst others won’t. We will find out exactly what you’re purchasing and walk you through the strategy of what is required on your machinery or equipment finance approval depending on your total loan amount.
-
This is a very common question that is always essential to ask. We love this question as we have managed to secure market leading interest rates that start from 2.90% for brand new machinery purchases.
The key thing here is that every customer is different, and all are in a different stage of their business journey. Our biggest goal at Yakka Finance is we want to look after you and your business for the lifetime that you are trading. That means we want to finance every single machinery your business ever purchases.
The only way we have so many loyal customers is our service is great and we can secure market leading interest rates. If our interest rates were high, we would never ever have the amount of loyal business owners that use our services every single day.
The big advantage for you and your business is because of the volumes of machinery we finance and the quality of our application submissions we are offered preferential interest rates from the banks that not all finance brokerages are able to secure. This is a big advantage to our business to keep our customers happy but also a huge advantage to your business.
-
There are many factors that can influence the interest rate on the machinery you have decided to purchase.
Here are some key considerations that can influence the interest rate:
- How long you have been in business for? (e.g. Brand New Business or an established business trading for over 2 years)
- If you are purchasing your Machinery from a Licensed dealership or from a Private Seller
- What the specific year build the machinery is. For example, a brand-new John Deere Tractor (or near new) would secure a much lower interest rate compared to a machinery that is much older such as 2003 John Deere Tractor.
- If you or your spouse is a Property Owner or if you are currently renting
- Your total machinery loan amount. The higher the machinery loan amount the lower the interest rate can be.
- If you have had machinery or equipment finance before and if your repayment history has been good or bad
- If you have a clean credit file or a credit file with a low score
-
Yes, we can finance agricultural machinery or equipment no matter how old the year build is. So, the answer if you wanted to finance a 1998 John Deere Tractor… yes, we can finance it. The answer is always yes.
-
We can usually obtain farm machinery or equipment finance approval within 24 – 48 hours of receiving all your details. Let us know your timeframe and we will work with you to get the machinery approved and settled with the most appropriate lender due to the time you are needing your new machinery by. The bigger the machinery loan amount (Above $250,000) can sometimes slow the application process down by a day or two as more documentation needs to be assessed and put together with the bank for your approval.
-
The average machinery loan term is between 3-7 years (36 to 84 months). The choice of loan term is ultimately your choice. The shorter the term would result in a higher monthly repayment as you are paying the loan off on a shorter loan period. If you every want to play around with what Loan Term works for you on your machinery.
Have a play with our easy-to-use agricultural machinery & equipment finance calculator – https://yakkafinance.com.au/finance-calculator/
-
A balloon payment is a lump sum which is owed to the lender at the very end of your machinery or equipment loan term, after all your regular monthly repayments have been made. It allows you to repay only part of the principal amount of your machinery loan over the term you request. The reason for having a Balloon Payment is that it allows you to lower your monthly repayments for cashflow purposes.
When it comes to end of your loan contract, and you will still have your Balloon Payment to deal with. It is easy to refinance your balloon payment at the end of your loan. Alternatively, you can trade the machinery in for a new one or sell your machinery to another party which if structured correctly will be more than the balloon payment you owe.
It is completely your choice whether you want a balloon payment in your loan structure to reduce your monthly repayments or not. We can workshop this with you to make sure the repayments suit you and your business.
-
You will find that specific brands such as John Deere will market their own 1.99% or 0% Finance Offers. Now this is available in the market. However, you will find this is strategically done by Agricultural brands to get customers to focus on the low rate and not the high price of the actual machinery or equipment. In fact, the offer for the Low Interest Rate is built into the price of the actual machinery and is a clever marketing tool to feel like you are getting a great deal no matter what price you purchase it for.
Sometimes, honestly, the offers can be a great deal and we will tell our clients to specifically go with that offer. On other occasions there have been horror stories where a price has been highly inflated to accommodate the low interest rate.
You will also find with Dealer Finance (e.g. John Deere Financial Services) have a very limited amount of options in regards to a finance offering. This can result in a very set loan structure that can’t be changed e.g. Short Loan Term or No Balloon amount. This can result in very limited flexibility and not allow you to secure the best possible deal that fits you and the cashflow of your business.
We are more than happy to offer our advice and let you know if your Agricultural Machinery Finance approval is competitive or not. Just call us on 1300 842 911.
We wrote an article explaining this and you are welcome to check it out – https://yakkafinance.com.au/2019/10/14/how-does-0-finance-even-work/
-
Yes, financing agricultural machinery or equipment from a Private Seller is very common and we do these types of transactions all the time. Business owners love finding a great deal on a machine privately. We will handle the whole entire sale process with the private seller for you and arrange for them to get paid by the bank or financier correctly.
This process is very streamlined for us, and we only require the agreed price you have negotiated with the private seller on your machinery. We will then handle the whole entire process from there.
-
It’s generally recommended to make sure you are happy with the assets condition before buying. Especially if you are purchasing through a private seller. When it comes to Private Sales, most finance companies will require a third-party finance inspection on the machinery to make sure the machinery’s asset identifiers (Serial Number & Engine Number) matches the Tax Invoice before the bank will settle on it.
We simply will book a Finance Inspection for you (or inspect the machinery ourselves) to take photos of the Front, Back, Sides, Engine Hours and Compliance Plate of the machinery to make sure it all matches your loan documents, registration papers and Tax Invoice so we can move through to settlement with no hassles.
We also complete a PPSR search on the machinery to make sure the machinery is not a write off or has been stolen before you buy it. You are welcome to also do a mechanical inspection on the machinery (at additional costs) to make sure the machinery is mechanically sound just to make sure you are completely comfortable on moving ahead with the machinery purchase. We can also book in a machinery mechanical inspection for you if you don’t know who to contact.
-
Yes! Whether it is a new or used machinery we offer a tailored finance solutions for all machinery and equipment, new or used. We have a wide variety of banks and lenders that will comfortably finance used machinery for you and your business. You tell us what asset you would like to purchase. We will then match that piece of machinery with the most appropriate bank or lender for you that has an appetite to approve older machinery.
-
This is one of our favourite things to do. Yakka Finance has access to the most cost-effective interest rates in the market. So given the opportunity to beat your current rate is something we take a lot of pride in doing for new customers.
If we can’t beat your interest rate that means you are getting a fantastic rate on your machinery purchase. We will give you true and honest feedback once we have a look at what machinery you are purchasing, your current repayment structure and what stage your business is currently in to ensure its with the right bank. Given the opportunity we won’t let you down on securing a low interest rate approval for you. That’s our job after all.
-
Every farm machinery finance application is different. It will all be depending on your business; the machinery you are purchasing & the amount you are looking to borrow. Once we have a five-minute phone call, we will get a good understanding, then run you through the strategy and the key items we need in order to secure your finance approval.
Please don’t feel you need to give us everything but the kitchen sink like a bank would as this is simply not the case. A short call to 1300 842 911 will give you a good understanding of what will be required.
From our experience of all the machinery we have financed, we strategically know exactly what key items we need to get from you in order to secure a hassle-free finance approval.
-
Yes, we have a large variety of banks and lenders that will give you an approval without having to put your own businesses cash reserves into the machinery purchase and it won’t affect your interest rate in most scenarios. Our most common machinery loan is with no deposit required.
-
Yes, we secure machinery loan approvals for Low Credit Score applicants. We are comfortable on getting your machinery or equipment loans approved with a low Credit Score or Credit Defaults. We fully understand that what happens in the past doesn’t dictate necessarily where you are right now. With most of our clients highlighting to us if they do have a Credit Default on their Credit file. There is normally a very good reason behind the credit default and why it’s there.
Some of our customers are just unlucky with missing a payment off one of their Energy Bills when they change their residential address or have had a dispute over a phone bill where they were charged to much by their phone provider. These are all very common and banks have a good understanding of this.
We always get an understanding of why your Credit Score is below the average and then effectively communicate to the appropriate bank as to why it is lower. Please have comfort that we know how to communicate correctly to the right banks or lenders on the story on the Credit Score and/or Credit Default to get your machinery loan approved.
In addition, we have a great external team we utilise to lift the Credit Default off your file and lift your credit score for you.
-
Yes, buying machinery or equipment from a Private Seller is very common and we do it all the time. We will handle the whole entire process with the private seller for you and organise them getting paid by the financier we go through for your machinery loan. Most of all we also give the Private seller comfort that you are a genuine buyer, and they will be getting paid for their machinery, so they don’t sell it to anyone else.
-
Yes, you are more than welcome to make extra repayments off your machinery loan. It’s a good overall strategy to reduce the amount of interest paid on your machinery. However, with interest rates being quite low and cashflow being king in any business. It can sometimes be best hold on to your working capital and pay off the machinery loan in the last 1-2 years of your loan contract.
-
Yes, we can arrange Agricultural Machinery Insurance for you as we have access to experienced machinery insurance providers that will give you the right advice when it comes to the insurance on your machinery.

Although we are happy for you to go to your bank to obtain your Machinery or Equipment Finance, we know that it almost always doesn’t deliver the same outcome to you or your business. We know our process compared to a banks process is completely different and we pride ourselves on it. Here are some key reasons as to why we are better than a bank for your machinery loan approval:
- You could end up going to the wrong bank who would charge you a higher interest rate and make you jump through a lot more administration hoops just to secure a simple Machinery Finance approval. We know the banking landscape extremely well and once we get an understanding of your business and what machinery you are purchasing; we will then take you to the most appropriate bank to secure your finance approval with ease.
- It’s so important to spread your loans across multiple banks. Why? It means that one bank never owns you or your business and instead we have multiple banks fighting for your business constantly. This keeps competition high and interest rates low for you.
- One bank will have a better interest rate than another bank depending on what machinery you are purchasing at different times of the year. We know exactly which specific banks to go to at certain times of the year on different types of machinery & equipment.
- Don’t waste a credit enquiry on your credit file going to the wrong bank. When we submit your machinery loan for an approval, we know it’s going to be approved. This keeps your Credit File Scores strong as every credit enquiry results in a finance approval when dealing with us.
- You will spend a lot more of your own time and efforts putting an application together when dealing with the bank and have no idea if you will get an approval. When we go to a bank, we are already 99% sure they will approve your machinery loan.
- With Yakka you will always have one point of contact for every machinery purchase you make for your business. Bank Managers are always changing roles in the banks. You might have a great relationship with a bank manager for one year and then they move on, and you have to build a completely new relationship with another bank manager that might not understand your transport business. At Yakka Finance we are not going anywhere, we get to know your business and are here to have a strong relationship with you and your business long-term.

Although we are happy for you to go to your bank to obtain your Machinery or Equipment Finance, we know that it almost always doesn’t deliver the same outcome to you or your business. We know our process compared to a banks process is completely different and we pride ourselves on it. Here are some key reasons as to why we are better than a bank for your machinery loan approval:
- You could end up going to the wrong bank who would charge you a higher interest rate and make you jump through a lot more administration hoops just to secure a simple Machinery Finance approval. We know the banking landscape extremely well and once we get an understanding of your business and what machinery you are purchasing; we will then take you to the most appropriate bank to secure your finance approval with ease.
- It’s so important to spread your loans across multiple banks. Why? It means that one bank never owns you or your business and instead we have multiple banks fighting for your business constantly. This keeps competition high and interest rates low for you.
- One bank will have a better interest rate than another bank depending on what machinery you are purchasing at different times of the year. We know exactly which specific banks to go to at certain times of the year on different types of machinery & equipment.
- Don’t waste a credit enquiry on your credit file going to the wrong bank. When we submit your machinery loan for an approval, we know it’s going to be approved. This keeps your Credit File Scores strong as every credit enquiry results in a finance approval when dealing with us.
- You will spend a lot more of your own time and efforts putting an application together when dealing with the bank and have no idea if you will get an approval. When we go to a bank, we are already 99% sure they will approve your machinery loan.
- With Yakka you will always have one point of contact for every machinery purchase you make for your business. Bank Managers are always changing roles in the banks. You might have a great relationship with a bank manager for one year and then they move on, and you have to build a completely new relationship with another bank manager that might not understand your transport business. At Yakka Finance we are not going anywhere, we get to know your business and are here to have a strong relationship with you and your business long-term.
