You list your agricultural machine with its registration document and photos. Verified dealers and exporters then submit binding bids, and you decide whether to accept one. The purchase contract, payment and collection run through truckoo – not through the dealer. For you the sale is free of charge, even after you accept.
Through truckoo you sell tractors, combine harvesters, forage harvesters, telehandlers, balers, field sprayers, slurry tankers and agricultural trailers. Individual attachments can be marketed alongside the machine if they belong to it.
Front loader, front hydraulics and dual wheels belong in the listing. They take little describing and make a clear difference to the bid.
The sale consists of four steps: list, receive bids, accept a bid, hand over. Until you accept a bid you can cancel at any time at no cost – and even after that you pay nothing.
Photograph the registration certificate, enter the mileage, take six mandatory photos. The listing process guides you through each photo. Around ten minutes.
Every bid is binding and valid for a fixed period. You see all bids side by side, not just the highest.
If none suits, you don’t sell – at no cost. Once accepted, there is no renegotiation.
Handover at a partner workshop or collection from your premises. Then payout by instant bank transfer. Deregistration can be added as an optional service (from 49 €).
Four factors determine the price: the operating hours, the brand together with its service network in the target market, the range of attachments and the timing of the sale. Agricultural machinery is highly seasonal – before the season the market pays more than after it.
Operating hours are the central measure of value. With tractors, the duty profile counts as well: haulage work on the road wears a machine differently from draught work in the field. On combine harvesters, engine hours and threshing hours are recorded separately – the difference says more about the condition than either figure on its own.
John Deere, Fendt and Claas command premiums on the export markets, because dealer networks and a supply of spare parts exist there. In Eastern Europe, demand for used Western European machinery is consistently high. With niche makes the pool of buyers is smaller and the price depends more heavily on the region.
A front loader, front hydraulics and front PTO, twin tyres, an air brake system, a steering system and a tyre pressure control system make a clear difference to the bid. If attachments are included, they belong in the vehicle details – sold as a package, the machine and the implement often fetch more than sold apart.
Agricultural machinery is the most seasonal segment of all. Combine harvesters and balers fetch considerably more in spring than in late autumn, and soil cultivation equipment before the drilling season. If you are not under time pressure, choose the moment of sale deliberately – the difference is greater than for any detail of the equipment.
Listing prices for agricultural machinery are dealer selling prices and are additionally shaped strongly by timing: the same machine is advertised at one price in spring and at another in November. Five items lie between what is quoted there and what a dealer can pay:
With agricultural machinery, seasonality has a double effect: it influences not only the selling price but also the days in stock the dealer has to allow for. A machine he buys in autumn and only sells in spring costs him six months of financing – and that shows up in the bid.
Condition rules out no machine. Wear on threshing, harvesting or baling components is normal and is priced in; documented replacements, by contrast, are a price argument. For machines that are not ready for use, dealers with their own workshop and exporters to Eastern Europe are the buyers.
Ten thousand hours is no bar for a tractor if the service history is right. On combine harvesters, state the engine hours and the threshing hours separately – the difference tells dealers more than either figure on its own.
Machines that are not ready for use also find buyers, predominantly dealers with their own workshop and exporters to Eastern Europe. Describe the damage precisely and state whether the machine can still be loaded.
Wear on the concave, the header, the chopping drum or the baler channel is normal and is priced in. Documented replacements are an argument for a higher price – enclose the invoices rather than just mentioning them.
A machine without a front loader or attachments is saleable, but fetches less. List exactly what is included – sold as a package, the machine and the implement often fetch more than sold apart.
Accident and fire damage does not rule out a sale. Enclose an expert report and repair records so that dealers do not simply assume a write-off.
An ongoing contract does not stand in the way of a sale. truckoo obtains the settlement amount from the bank or the leasing company and offsets it against the purchase price – you receive the difference.
On truckoo, 1500+ verified dealers and exporters from 35+ countries submit bids. Every buyer is checked for proof of trade registration, VAT identification number and solvency before being approved. You yourself have a contract with none of them – your contractual partner is truckoo.
The difference from a classified ad is the number of calculations. With agricultural machinery the market is particularly hard to read: regional dealers, national specialists and exporters to Eastern Europe value the same machine very differently, depending on their service network and selling season. You see all bids side by side instead of being at the mercy of a single offer.
For sellers, selling through truckoo is free of charge – completely and permanently. There is no listing fee, no brokerage commission and no deduction from the purchase price, not even when you accept a bid and actually sell.
As a rule, a few working days after the vehicle details are complete. Outside the season it can take longer, because fewer dealers are buying – that is not a sign of a poor machine but of the wrong month.
No. You see every bid and decide freely. If you accept none, no costs arise and the vehicle stays yours. There is no deadline by which you have to decide – only the individual bids are time-limited.
truckoo. The sales contract, the payment and the processing all run through truckoo, not through the dealer who bids. You have a single point of contact, even if something needs clarifying after the handover.
On the day of handover. As soon as the partner on site has confirmed that the vehicle, keys and documents have been handed over in full, truckoo pays out by instant bank transfer. You do not have to chase your money and you do not have to pay anything in advance.
Before the season. Combine harvesters and balers fetch considerably more in spring than in late autumn, and soil cultivation equipment before the drilling season. If you are not under time pressure, choose the moment deliberately – the difference is greater than for any detail of the equipment.
The purchase receipt or proof of ownership, the operating manual, service and repair records and the current reading of the hour meter. For machines that require road registration, the registration certificate as well and, for export, the COC papers.
Yes, both together with the machine and separately. Sold as a package, the machine and the implement often fetch more than sold apart. What matters is listing exactly what is included when you enter the details – implements found to be missing afterwards are the most common point of dispute at the handover.
Ten minutes to create the listing, then you decide at your own pace. For sellers the sale is free of charge – even when you do sell.
