About Peterson
Peterson, an Astec brand, makes whole-tree chippers, debarkers, horizontal grinders and blower trucks and trailers. Its grinders are listed in Astec's forestry range.
Peterson equipment
Peterson grinders and chippers serve land clearing, biomass, mulch and compost producers, and blower trucks are used for erosion control and landscaping.
What lenders look at
For a big grinder, a lender wants to see where the material comes from and where the output goes: supply agreements, mulch or biomass sales, and land-clearing contracts. Hours and wear items round out the review.
Financing Peterson equipment
Grinders are often paired with a loader in one deal. Blower trucks are financed like vocational trucks, chassis and body together.
How Peterson Pacific equipment financing works
Most Peterson Pacific 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 Peterson Pacific forestry equipment
Lenders look at hours, component condition and the contracts or cutting rights behind the work. Forestry equipment is specialized, so lender appetite and terms vary more than for general construction machines.
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 Peterson Pacific 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 Peterson Pacific 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 Peterson Pacific equipment
Forestry: logging contractors, sawmills, land-clearing firms, road builders in resource areas and forestry service companies finance Peterson Pacific 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 Peterson Pacific 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.
