Claims farm machinery buyers can’t get finance despite good credit

FARM machinery sales are being held up because purchasers can’t get finance despite having good credit records.

This was revealed at the Farm Machinery Show, which continued at Punchestown Event Centre in Co Kildare yesterday.

Farm Tractor and Machinery Trade Association (FTMTA) president Eamonn Tinney said the main finance providers operating within the sector say they look on the agricultural market as a good option to provide finance.
