What to Check Before You Buy Used Diesel Gear
Thinking of Buying a Used Tractor? Read This First.
Not all gear is a good deal. Here’s what we check before we sell and what you should check before you buy.
Second-hand gear can save you serious money, if it’s in decent nick. But too often we’ve seen people burned by dodgy sales, fake service histories, or gear that looks tidy but fails under pressure.
At Tracmac, we won’t list gear unless it’s passed a full inspection. That means:
Engine hours checked and verified
Hydraulics tested under load
PTO and linkages are fully cycled
Hoses, belts, and filters were looked over
Battery and electricals confirmed working
If we spot something off, we’ll fix it or tell you upfront. No surprises.
Not buying from us? No worries, we can still check a machine before you hand over cash. One call can save you thousands down the track.
Looking for gear? Keep an eye on our [Gear for Sale] page or get in touch, good machines don’t sit for long.
