Henty Machinery Field Days is an annual agricultural industry event in south-west NSW showcasing the latest in farming equipment, technology and services. The event is the largest of its kind for southern Australia and attracts exhibitors from many areas of agribusiness and country lifestyle. Last year, the event had 860 exhibitors and 55,000 visitors. The dates for 2026 are 22-24 September.

For operators in the agri sector, it’s time to make your plans to attend if not done so already and if planning to buy machinery on the day, it’s time to talk to us about your equipment financing. While this event presents a great chance for an annual catch-up with friends and industry contacts, it also presents the ideal opportunity to order new equipment. See what new releases may deliver greater output, productivity and yield for your property.

Being ready to capitalise on the opportunity can mean being ready with equipment financing confirmed, saving time in having to follow-up with further dealer visits or conversations and potentially taking advantage of any specials available only to those that order at Henty Machinery Field Days. Our brokers can assist you with your agricultural machinery and equipment finance and loans for other non-asset purchases.

Arranging Pre-Order Equipment Finance

Pre-order finance, confirming loans before placing the order, can save time, assist in selecting the make and model that suits your loan repayments, and may avoid signing up for a dealer or other finance offer that may be higher than we can source.

Take the time before heading to Henty to discuss with our brokers what you intend to order and allow us to source your most suitable loan at your best rates from our extensive lender base. We have connections with lenders that specialise in loans for agribusiness and offer a complete portfolio of credit facilities - Rent-to-Own, Lease, Chattel Mortgage or Commercial Hire Purchase.

When applying for machinery loans before the purchase has been finalised, most operators will not know the exact price and therefore the specific amount required to be financed. That is not a problem. Most will have an idea of what a new model will cost and can provide an estimate for the purposes of seeking conditional loan pre-approval.

The process can provide the amount approved to borrow, an offer valid for a short time, or a general indication of finance options. Before applying, use our Asset Finance Calculator to work up estimates to see what combination of term, balloon and loan amount works with your cash flow.

Equipment Finance at Fixed Rates, Fixed Terms

Sourcing finance prior to order does not mean having to make compromises on the features of the credit facility selected or achieving the best possible rates. Our equipment finance includes fixed rates, sourced from a large lender base. Terms are fixed, negotiated to best meet operator preferences, suit ownership cycles, and target ROI.

For operators considering deferring acquisitions until interest rates start coming down, that may be some way off, based on statements by the Reserve Bank with the August cash rate decision. While commercial lenders set their own rates, the cash rate fluctuations can provide a guide to market moves.

The cash rate was left unchanged for August, and in comments associated with the decision, RBA Governor Michele Bullock essentially indicated that a future rise was not ruled out.

A rate cut was not discussed at the Board meeting and with the RBA not expecting inflation to reach mid target till late next year, the chances of a rate cut in coming months is low. Three more rate decisions are due this year.

Loans for Non-Asset Requirements

The Henty event showcases not only machinery and equipment, but a wide range of products used in agribusinesses. If looking to purchase, for example, new tech systems, and other similar products, unsecured business loans are available for this type of acquisition.

We can advise the most cost-effective solution to suit the business and the products.
