Our Farmer Appreciation Discount
Farming is hard work. You feed this country, and we think that deserves recognition. That's why we offer farm equipment desktop appraisals starting at $99 — well below the standard vehicle appraisal rate — so more farmers can get the professional documentation they need without breaking the bank.
When a Certified Appraisal Makes All the Difference
Farm equipment represents real money — sometimes the most valuable asset on the property. These are the three situations where a certified appraisal protects you most.
Don't Let Your Insurer Lowball Your Equipment
When a tractor burns, a combine is totaled, or a piece of equipment is stolen, your insurance company will use their own numbers — not yours. A certified appraisal establishes the true pre-loss value before anything happens, so you're covered at what the equipment is actually worth, not what the adjuster decides it's worth after the fact. Agreed-value policies require documentation. We provide it.
Protect the Family When It Matters Most
When a farmer passes, the equipment doesn't just disappear — it has to be valued, divided, or sold. Attorneys, courts, and the IRS all require a defensible, documented appraisal for probate and estate settlement. Without one, heirs argue over numbers, estates drag on, and equipment gets sold for less than it's worth. Our USPAP-compliant reports are accepted by attorneys, courts, and the IRS — and we work directly with families and estate attorneys across all 50 states.
Know What It's Worth Before You Sell
Selling a tractor or combine privately? Buyers will negotiate hard, and without documentation you're guessing. A certified appraisal gives you a defensible asking price backed by real market data — recent auction results, dealer comps, and regional trends. It tells buyers you know what you have, and it protects you from leaving money on the table. Whether you're selling one piece or an entire equipment line, we'll document the value.
What the Report Looks Like
Every farm equipment appraisal is a written, signed document — not a verbal estimate. It includes the equipment description, condition notes, comparable market data (recent auction results and dealer comps), and a certified value conclusion. The same format used for insurance companies, estate attorneys, and courts.
What Clients Say
"Shawn turned around the appraisal the same day I submitted. The report was exactly what my insurance company needed — no back and forth, no delays. Worth every penny."
"We needed equipment values for my father's estate and had no idea where to start. Shawn walked us through the whole process and the attorney accepted the report without question."
All the Situations We Cover
Farm equipment appraisals are used whenever you need a defensible number, not a guess:
- Insurance agreed-value policies and total-loss claims
- Estate settlement, probate, and inheritance planning
- Private sale — know your number before you negotiate
- Farm loans & equipment financing (lender acceptance varies)
- Divorce and equitable distribution of farm assets
- Partnership buyouts and business planning
We work with individual farmers, families, attorneys, and lenders across all 50 states.
What We Appraise
