About Brent grain carts

Brent equipment on our list
Our list includes Brent grain carts such as the 1082, 1382 and 1596, used by grain farms to keep combines running during harvest.
How lenders view grain carts
Grain carts are financed on the farm's harvest income, usually with annual payments. Lenders review capacity, age, auger and track or tire condition, and the farm's acres.
Financing Brent grain carts
Carts are often financed with a tractor or combine as part of a harvest package. Dealer programs, Farm Credit Canada, banks and independent lenders can be compared.
How Brent equipment financing works
Most Brent purchases are financed with an equipment loan or a lease. A loan gives you ownership from day one, with the lender registering a security interest (PPSA in Canada, UCC in the USA). A lease keeps title with the lessor and can lower the monthly payment, with a buyout, renewal or return option at the end.
What lenders check on a Brent farming equipment
Lenders look at hours, maintenance history and how payments fit your crop or livestock cash cycle. Seasonal or annual payment schedules are common for farm equipment.
Expect to provide a credit application, recent business bank statements, the dealer quote or bill of sale with serial number and hours, and financial statements or tax returns for larger amounts.

Tax treatment of Brent equipment
In Canada, the CCA class depends on the asset and how it is used. Your accountant can confirm the right class. With a loan, you generally claim capital cost allowance and deduct interest. With a true operating lease, lease payments are generally deductible instead. See the CRA classes of depreciable property. In the USA, Section 179 and bonus depreciation may apply; see IRS Publication 946. Always confirm with your accountant.
End-of-term options on a Brent lease
A $1 buyout lease is built for ownership: you keep the machine for a nominal amount at the end. A fair market value lease usually has a lower payment, and at the end you can buy the equipment at its market value, return it or upgrade. Read the return conditions, such as hour limits and wear standards, before you sign.
Who finances Brent equipment
Farming: grain and oilseed farms, dairy and livestock operations, custom operators, orchards and vineyards, and agricultural contractors finance Brent equipment to take on new work, replace aging units or add capacity.
The right structure depends on how the equipment earns money. A machine tied to a long contract can support a longer term, while seasonal work may call for skip or seasonal payments that some lenders offer.
Questions to ask the dealer or seller before you finance
- What is the exact model year, serial number and hours?
- Is there a service history or recent inspection report?
- Is any warranty or extended coverage included, and does it transfer?
- Are attachments, delivery, installation and taxes itemized on the quote?
- For a private sale, is the equipment free of liens, and who will provide the bill of sale?
Insurance on financed Brent equipment
Lenders and lessors require the equipment to be insured for its replacement or financed value, with the lender named as loss payee, before funding. Some also ask for liability coverage. Getting an insurance quote early avoids last-minute delays.
