Vermeer Forestry Financing and Leasing

Choose the machine around incoming material and output

Describe the material you expect to process, its source and the required finished product. Vermeer’s forestry and wood-waste equipment range distinguishes grinders, chippers and other processing equipment. They are not interchangeable purchases.

For tree-care crews, identify the chipper configuration and transport arrangement. For a processing yard, describe the feed system, loader, conveyors and screening needs. Have the supplier assess machine suitability and performance for representative material.

Price wear components and handling equipment

List screens, grinding or cutting components, conveyors, controls and accessories included in the sale. Confirm that the output configuration suits your customers’ specification and that replacement wear parts are available.

If buying a package, identify the loader, trailer or other supporting assets separately. Include freight, setup, initial service and training in the budget. A low machine price can be misleading if essential processing or transport equipment is missing.

Inspect used machinery for its working history

Request serial numbers, hours, maintenance records and major repair details. A qualified inspection should address the engine, hydraulics, feed system, processing components, conveyors and controls appropriate to the model.

Ask about the materials previously processed and document necessary repairs. Confirm support for the installed controls and replacement components. Financing approval does not certify a machine or replace required operating procedures, training or site approvals.

Build repayment around actual processing economics

Use realistic incoming volumes, disposal or product revenue, operating days and customer payment timing. Include labour, fuel, wear parts, transport and maintenance downtime. Avoid assuming that every tonne processed earns the same margin.
