Tractors owner-operators, subcontractors and small-fleet operators across Australia are knocked back by banks, stalled in single-lender queues, and locked into single products by dealer finance. Whether you run broadacre cropping operations across grain and canola farms, dairy farm fodder and silage work, contract sowing and seeding businesses, beef cattle station maintenance and pasture work, orchard and vineyard tractor work, hire-out tractors on day-rate contracts to farmers, sugar cane and cotton farm operations, or contract spraying businesses.
Your application goes to specialist agricultural lenders who assess seasonal income cycle, asset value and trading history directly, in one structured submission with no multi-lender credit hits.
A simple, secure online application, with honest advice from a Australia specialist you can trust.

Tractor finance settled across 80+ Australian lenders, from owner-operators to mid-size fleets. ACL 389328.
"Harvest two weeks out and the spare tractor was the spare for a reason. Pulled the trigger on a replacement on Monday and Jason had us on the dealer's loadout list by Wednesday. We didn't miss a day."
"Income comes in two big drops a year, not monthly. They matched us with a lender that runs an irregular-repayment schedule keyed to delivery weeks instead of calendar months."
"Contract farming work for three neighbouring properties through harvest. Needed a second tractor to keep up. Cody structured a chattel mortgage with the right term to match the season's invoicing run."
"Dairy rotation, two-and-a-half-thousand-cow operation. Day in, day out the tractor is the heartbeat. Equifund found a lender that understood the asset wears out faster on a dairy than on cropping and structured the term accordingly."
"Demo tractor on the property for two weeks during seeding. Outperformed the unit we were going to replace. Dealer wanted the demo back end of month or settlement before. John had us approved on Friday."

"Adding cattle work to the cropping rotation, needed a second tractor with a front-end loader package for feeding. Terry matched us with a lender that scored on the pastoral side of the operation as well as the crop income."
"Narrow-row tractor for a stone-fruit orchard. Specialist machine, specialist insurance, specialist lender. They put us with a lender that understood the orchard duty cycle and the asset value at end-of-term."
"Took on a second farm under a long-term lease arrangement. Needed plant on both. Equifund structured a chattel mortgage that took the combined turnover from both properties as the income base."
"Regional cropping, smaller operation, big-bank turnaround was running into months. Jake found a lender that runs an ag-specialist team and approved on the active production cycle and last season's delivery returns."

Straight answers to the questions Australian businesses and operators ask most.
We finance new, used, demonstrator, dealer and private-sale tractors across all major makes and models. Your specialist matches the finance to your work and the lender to your file.
Pre-approval is typically inside 24 hours once you submit the form. Settlement timing then depends on the lender and asset details, with many Australian deals settling within a week of pre-approval.
No. Many of our lenders score the deal on seasonal and contract income and asset value rather than requiring property security. Non-property owners regularly settle tractor finance through Equifund.
Not always. $0 deposit is available for prime applications, especially for established operators with active seasonal and contract work. Other deals may require a deposit depending on the asset, the lender and the loan term.
Yes. We finance dealer purchases, private sales, auctions and end-of-lease buyouts. The tractor just needs to meet the lender's age and condition requirements.
Yes. Many Australian operators refinance to access a better rate, restructure repayments around their income cycle, release equity from the asset, or consolidate multiple tractor loans into one facility.
We have a panel of 80+ Australian lenders spanning major banks, specialist asset financiers and non-bank lenders that specifically understand seasonal and contract income and transport assets. Your specialist matches your file to the right lender for the deal.
Yes. We regularly settle multi-tractor deals for Australian fleets, often splitting the package across more than one lender to fit each asset's spec and your overall structure.
Yes. Tractors, attachments, trailers and related equipment are all on the panel. Equipment security can be structured independently of tractor finance if that better suits the deal.
A chattel mortgage gives you immediate ownership of the tractor while the lender holds it as security. You claim GST upfront and depreciate the tractor for tax. It is the most common structure for established Australian owner-operators. A finance lease keeps the tractor on the lender's books with set monthly payments and an optional residual paid at the end of the term. Useful for fleet operators managing repayments against vehicle turnover. Your Australia-based tractor finance specialist will recommend the structure that suits your business and tax position. Read the full chattel mortgage vs finance lease comparison.
Seasonal and contract income recognition is how a specialist lender reads income from livestock, grain and contract income and BAS rather than treating only PAYG salary as income. Bank credit templates often miss this. Specialist lenders read seasonal and contract income accurately, which is why established Australian operators frequently get approved on deals that mainstream banks decline.
Low-doc tractor finance is approval on a reduced documentation set, usually a Director declaration plus business activity statements or recent bank statements, rather than full financials. It is faster to process and common for established small-fleet operators in Australia who would rather not produce two years of full tax returns for a single asset purchase.
Pre-approval is a conditional finance approval issued before you commit to a tractor. It sets the maximum loan amount, indicative rate, term and repayment structure so you can negotiate with dealers, private sellers or auction houses on solid ground. Equifund pre-approvals are typically issued within 24 hours of form submission.
An Australian Credit Licence (ACL) is a licence issued by ASIC permitting a business to engage in credit activities under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act. Equifund holds Australian Credit Licence 389328. Working with an ACL holder is a baseline regulatory protection for the borrower and a baseline trust signal for any Australian finance provider.
Yes. New, demo and used tractors from John Deere, Case IH, New Holland, Massey Ferguson, Fendt, Kubota and Claas for broadacre cropping, dairy fodder and pastoral work are routinely financed through specialist lenders on our panel.
Yes. Lenders on our panel score tractors on farm income, BAS and active cropping and contract farming income. The tractor itself secures the loan, not the farm property.
Three quick steps. A tractor finance specialist gets back to you the same business day.
