Bourgault 7950 Air Cart Financing and Leasing

Identify the 7950 cart and its installed equipment

Bourgault lists the 7950 among its historical air carts, with 950-bushel base capacity and an optional 40-bushel saddle tank. Confirm the actual tank arrangement and full serial identification. A 7950 is not a 9950, and features from a current cart should not be assigned to it by a similar model number.

The cart stores, meters and delivers product to a compatible seeding tool; it is not the complete drill. Describe the crops and product-delivery plan, intended drill, spacing and typical operating requirements. Have the supplier verify the tractor's hydraulic capacity and the proposed cart/drill connections.

Metering and control generation matter

List the fan arrangement, metering equipment, product lines, controller, display and blockage or section-control components. Bourgault's 7950 history describes changes and retrofit possibilities across model years. Obtain the installed-equipment inventory rather than assuming the latest listed metering system is fitted.

Identify the load cells, conveyor or auger, saddle tank and loading accessories included in the sale. Confirm software, display and licence transfer requirements and ask who will set up and calibrate the cart. For a combined purchase, document the air drill and air seeder package as separate assets.

Inspect material-contact parts and running gear

Ask a qualified technician to inspect tanks, lids and seals, meters, augers, fans, hoses and distribution components. Request cleaning/storage history and evaluate fertilizer corrosion rather than relying on paint condition. Test the electronics and weighing functions, and obtain estimates for components needing replacement.

Record the actual wheel or track configuration and inspect the associated running gear. Have the provider assess braking equipment where fitted, tires or tracks, bearings and frame condition. Verify the transport dimensions and requirements of the exact configuration before arranging movement.

Keep the transaction and delivery practical

A dealer quote should specify included repairs and commissioning. With a private seller, obtain ownership and serial documentation and disclose outstanding finance. An auction may include the cart and drill in separate lots; establish what is being sold, removal deadlines and financing acceptance before committing.

Illustrative cart budget: a hypothetical CAD $170,000 cart, CAD $12,000 of metering and hose repairs, and CAD $8,000 of transport and calibration total CAD $190,000 before tax and fees. A sample CAD $40,000 contribution leaves CAD $150,000 to discuss if all costs qualify. These are planning inputs, not 7950 prices or required finance terms.

Prepare the application before the seeding window

Allow time for inspection, transfer, setup and calibration before field work. Keep seed and fertilizer purchases in the operating forecast rather than assuming they are included with equipment finance. If requesting seasonal payments, show the farm's actual receipt dates and obtain the lender's schedule in writing.
