Rules and checks for a used or imported tractor
WorkSafe says all new agricultural tractors bought after 31 August 2001 must have seat belts, and that belts and anchorages must be kept in good condition, so check them on any used machine. NZTA's guide to agricultural vehicles sets out the warrant of fitness (WoF) requirements for tractors, so read its tractor section before taking a machine on public roads. Kubota notes that its export models sold in New Zealand comply with local standards and health and safety rules, so ask whether a grey-import machine has been checked against them.
Farming guidance on tractor operation lists minimum kit for the operator: hearing protection unless the tractor has a soundproof cab, safety boots, a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher and a cell phone.
Season: the window before summer work
Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August, so November is the last stretch before the busy summer months.
Delivery and units in New Zealand
Name the city where the tractor must end up, for example Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton or Tauranga, because cost and time depend on the distance. Christchurch is on the South Island, so delivery from the North Island crosses Cook Strait. Power is usually listed in horsepower (hp), and a used machine should be described by its engine hours. Ask whether the quote includes GST and delivery, and confirm the currency, since some listings are in US dollars.
What to put in your request
Say whether you want to buy or rent, give the model if you know it, and state the power you need in hp. Say whether implements such as a loader or mower should be included. For a used machine add the year and engine hours, and give your budget in NZ$ and your delivery city, so the offers can be compared side by side.
Describe the job in your own words in the chat and add a photo if you have one. The AI asks for anything missing, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in New Zealand, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their price, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose whom to exchange them with.
