Finance your combine harvester

Combine harvesters are the backbone of efficient grain production, handling everything from wheat and barley to oats, canola, and beyond.

With so many models and configurations on the market, finding the right machine and the right finance deal can be overwhelming.

That's where our dedicated agriculture finance team can help you with your finance agreement whether that's hire purchase, finance lease or an unsecured loan.

Whether you're upgrading your fleet or buying your first harvester, we'll help you navigate the options and secure funding that works for your operation.

We can also arrange finance for other arable equipment including field sprayers and milking parlours.

What is combine harvester finance?

A combine harvester is one of the most significant investments an arable farming business can make. These machines are key in the harvesting process; cutting, threshing, and cleaning grain in a single pass, and their reliability can significantly influence the success of the harvesting season.  

Combine harvester finance allows farming businesses to acquire this equipment without committing to a substantial upfront payment. At UK Business Finance, we can arrange finance for the purchase of a new or used combine harvester, restructure existing agreements, and provide farm specific unsecured loans to agri-businesses.

Whether you are looking to replace an ageing machine, expand your capacity ahead of the harvest season, or unlock cash from equipment you already own, our agriculture finance team can help you find the most suitable arrangement.

Benefits of combine harvester finance

Managing cash flow through harvest season and beyond: Arable farming operates around a concentrated window of income, and a large capital outlay on a combine harvester can place pressure on cash reserves. Financing the purchase spreads the cost into manageable monthly repayments, which means working capital remains available for seed, fuel, labour, and other essential costs throughout the year.

Release cash from equipment you already own : If your business owns a combine harvester outright, asset refinance gives you a way to raise capital against it without giving up operational use of the machine. The asset is sold to the funder and leased back to your business, providing a lump sum that can be directed towards new machinery, land investment, or other costs. At the end of the agreement, full ownership returns to you. 

Predictable repayments make planning straightforward: Finance agreements come with fixed monthly repayment amounts agreed at the outset, which makes it much easier to plan outgoings in advance. For farming businesses where forward planning is essential, knowing exactly what is owed and when removes uncertainty from the financial calendar.

Access newer, more capable machinery: Modern combine harvesters offer significant improvements in throughput, fuel efficiency, and grain loss reduction compared to older models. Financing gives arable businesses a practical route to upgrading their equipment without the need to fund the full purchase price upfront. This helps to protect yield quality and harvest capacity over the long term.

Repayment terms built around your farming calendar: We understand that income in arable farming is different for each agri-business. Finance agreements can be structured to suit the nature of your specific business, so the monthly payments are manageable for your farm, ensuring that unnecessary pressure is not placed on cash flow. 

How we helped a farming and agriculture business

A Yorkshire-based vegetable farmer contacted UK business finance to arrange finance for a two combine harvesters for their agriculture business.

The long-term customer has been dealing with UK business finance since 2019 and we were able to arrange over £1650,000 in funding for the client to purchase the assets. 

Both the deals were funded over 60-months term with a 1-month VAT deferral to assist with cashflow over the quieter winter months for the farming industry.

The customer was delighted with deal due to the rate and terms offer that were considerably lower than other finance providers.

Combine harvester finance example

Combine harvesters can represent a significant capital investment for a farming business. Asset finance and finance leases provide a way to spread that cost across a fixed repayment schedule, while asset refinance can release capital from machinery already on the farm. Farm loans are also available for businesses with broader funding requirements beyond a single asset purchase.

Combine Harvester Finance FAQs

What businesses are eligible for combine harvester finance?

While we primarily work with UK limited companies, we also work with sole traders and farming partnerships looking to finance harvesting equipment. Lenders across our panel are familiar with the range of business structures common in arable farming, and we'll work to match you with the most suitable option regardless of how your operation is set up.

Can I finance a used combine harvester?

Yes, finance is available for both new and used combine harvesters. Lenders will typically take into account the age, condition, and value of the machine when assessing your application, so it is worth having a clear picture of the asset's current market value and service history before applying.

Can I finance combine harvester attachments and headers separately?

In many cases, yes. Headers and specialist attachments can represent a substantial cost in their own right, and it can be possible to finance these separately or as part of a broader agreement covering the full machine.

What types of combine harvesters can I finance?

We can arrange finance for a wide range of combine harvesters, including wheeled and tracked models, as well as rotary and conventional straw walkers. Whether you're looking to finance a new machine or a used model, we can tailor a solution to suit your needs.

How does the seasonal nature of combine harvesting affect my finance agreement?

Some lenders can accommodate the seasonal cash flow patterns common in arable farming, including flexible repayment structures that align repayments with harvest income. This can help ease pressure during quieter periods of the year.

How much can I borrow to finance a combine harvester?

The amount you can borrow will depend on factors such as the value of the machine, your business's financial profile, and the lender's criteria. We work with a panel of lenders to find terms that reflect your specific circumstances.

What finance options are available for a combine harvester?

Combine harvesters can be acquired through hire purchase agreements, which allow you to spread the cost over a fixed term and own the machine outright at the end. Finance leases are also available if you do not want to own the asset. We'll help you identify the most appropriate structure for your business.
