Organic Farming Machinery: Buying Used Equipment for Bio Operations

Organic farming is growing strongly — but specialist organic machinery is expensive. Insolvency purchases offer significant savings here too.

Special Machine Requirements for Organic Farms

Without chemical weed control, organic farms need:

• Weeder/tine harrow: Post-sowing mechanical weed control
• Inter-row cultivator (hoe): Mechanical in-row weed control
• Shallow cultivator: Mulch tillage without ploughing
• Compost spreader: Organic fertilization
• Slurry tanker: Organic liquid fertilization

What to Consider When Buying Organic Machinery

Cleanliness: Organic farms must ensure purchased machines contain no chemical residues. Thorough cleaning before use.

Precision: Organic hoe machines must be GPS-guided from 4 rows upwards — factor in GPS retrofit cost.
