Rates are indicative only and subject to lender criteria, credit assessment, fees, terms and approval.
Can I get John Deere machinery finance with just an ABN?
Yes. Eligible applicants may be able to obtain John Deere machinery finance using their ABN with limited supporting documentation. This can be particularly useful for established sole traders, owner drivers and businesses that don’t want to provide full financial statements. The documentation required depends on factors including how long you’ve held your ABN, GST registration, credit profile, loan amount and the John Deere you’re purchasing. Some applications may require additional financial information to satisfy lender criteria.
Can I finance a new John Deere machine?
Yes. We arrange finance for new John Deere machines purchased through dealerships and other eligible suppliers. Depending on your circumstances, finance may be available for up to the full purchase price, with flexible loan terms and balloon payment options available to eligible applicants.
Can I finance a used John Deere machine?
Yes. We arrange finance for used John Deere machines, including eligible older vehicles. For used John Deeres, lenders generally consider the machine’s age, condition, purchase price, market value and expected age at the end of the finance term when determining available rates, loan terms and finance structures.
Can I get John Deere machinery finance with no deposit?
Yes. No deposit John Deere machinery finance may be available to eligible applicants, allowing up to 100% of the machine’s purchase price to be financed. Whether a deposit is required depends on your business history, credit profile, financial position, loan amount, the machine being purchased and lender criteria.
Can I get low doc John Deere machinery finance?
Yes. Eligible ABN holders may qualify for low doc, lite doc or no doc John Deere machinery finance, with options available for loans up to $500,000 in suitable circumstances. Low doc finance can reduce the amount of paperwork required compared with a traditional commercial loan and may remove the need to provide complete financial statements or tax returns.
Can I get John Deere machinery finance without financials or tax returns?
Potentially. Some lenders can assess eligible John Deere machinery finance applications without full financial statements or tax returns. Depending on the lender and application, alternative information may be used to assess your business and ability to repay. Requirements vary based on your ABN history, credit profile, loan amount and the machine being financed.
How much can I borrow for a John Deere machine?
The amount you can borrow depends on your business circumstances, financial position, credit profile, existing commitments and the John Deere you’re purchasing. Eligible applicants may access low doc or no doc finance up to $500,000, while other commercial finance options may accommodate different loan amounts depending on the application and lender criteria.
What loan terms are available for John Deere machinery finance?
John Deere machinery finance terms of up to 7 years may be available to eligible applicants. The available term depends on factors such as the machine’s age and value, loan amount and lender criteria. A longer term can reduce regular repayments, although it may increase the total interest payable over the life of the loan.
Can I get John Deere machinery finance with bad credit?
Potentially. Previous credit issues don’t automatically prevent you from financing a John Deere. Some lenders consider applications from businesses and owner drivers with imperfect credit histories. Available rates, deposit requirements, loan amounts and terms will depend on the nature and age of the credit issues and your current business and financial circumstances.
Can a new business or new ABN finance a John Deere machine?
Potentially. Some lenders consider new businesses and newer ABN holders, although the requirements can be different from those for established businesses. Relevant industry experience, credit history, available deposit, business circumstances and the John Deere being purchased can all influence which lenders and finance structures are available.
Can owner drivers and sole traders get John Deere machinery finance?
Yes. We arrange John Deere finance for owner drivers, owner operators, sole traders, self-employed applicants, companies and trusts. Whether you’re buying your first John Deere, replacing an existing machine or expanding your fleet, we can compare lender options based on your individual circumstances.
Can I finance a John Deere machine from a private seller?
Yes. Selected lenders provide finance for privately purchased John Deere machines. Private purchases can require additional checks on the machine and seller before settlement, including verification of vehicle details, ownership and purchase price.
Can I finance a John Deere machine purchased at auction?
Yes. Finance may be available for eligible John Deere machines purchased at auction. Because auctions can have strict payment and settlement deadlines, arranging pre-approval before bidding can help you establish your budget and move quickly if you’re the successful bidder.
Can I finance a John Deere machine purchased interstate?
Yes. You don’t have to purchase your John Deere locally. Finance can be arranged for eligible machines purchased from interstate dealerships, private sellers and auctions. The lender may require additional documentation or checks depending on the seller, machine and transaction.
What finance options are available for John Deere machines?
Depending on your business and circumstances, John Deere machinery finance can include a chattel mortgage, commercial hire purchase, finance lease or rent-to-own arrangement. The appropriate structure depends on factors including your business, cash flow, ownership requirements and the machine you’re purchasing. Tax treatment can vary, so you should seek professional tax advice for your circumstances.
How does a balloon payment work on John Deere machinery finance?
A balloon payment is an agreed amount left outstanding at the end of your John Deere finance term. Because you’re not paying the entire financed amount down through your regular repayments, a balloon can reduce repayments during the loan term. At the end of the term, the balloon generally needs to be paid, refinanced or otherwise dealt with under the terms of your finance agreement. Available balloon amounts depend on the machine, loan term and lender criteria.
How quickly can John Deere machinery finance be approved?
Eligible applications may receive same-day pre-approval, with finance decisions or approvals potentially available within 24 to 48 hours once the required information has been supplied. Timing depends on the lender, your circumstances, the John Deere being purchased and whether additional documentation, valuations or checks are required.
Does getting a John Deere machinery finance quote affect my credit score?
Not necessarily. Where available, we may be able to compare or assess your initial finance options without submitting a formal credit application. A credit enquiry may be required once you decide to proceed with a lender. We can explain whether an enquiry is required before progressing your application.
Can I finance multiple John Deere machines or an entire fleet?
Yes. Finance can be arranged for multiple John Deere machines and fleet purchases, subject to lender approval. Whether you’re adding a second machine, replacing several vehicles or expanding an established fleet, we can compare lenders and structure the finance around the purchase amount, existing commitments and your business cash flow.
Do I need to own property to finance a John Deere machine?
Not necessarily. In many commercial machinery finance transactions, the John Deere itself can provide security for the loan, meaning additional property or asset security may not be required. This depends on the finance product, applicant and lender criteria.
What information do I need to apply for John Deere machinery finance?
Requirements vary between lenders, but you may be asked to provide your ABN and business details, identification, information about the John Deere you’re purchasing, purchase price and details of existing financial commitments. Depending on your eligibility and the lender, a low doc or no doc application may require significantly less financial documentation.
Is your John Deere machinery finance comparison service free?
Yes. Our John Deere machinery finance comparison service is free, and there’s no obligation to proceed if you don’t want to accept an available finance option. We compare suitable options across 80+ lenders and negotiate with lenders to find competitive rates, repayments and finance structures for your circumstances.

We compare John Deere machinery finance across 80+ lenders, negotiate directly with lenders for competitive pricing and structure the finance around your business, cash flow and machine purchase.
