Farm Truck & Grain Trailer Financing
Finance semi trucks, straight trucks, and grain trailers for your farm hauling operation. Seasonal payment structures, B/C credit considered, fast funding.
Grain does not haul itself. At harvest, getting it off the field and to the elevator or the bin on time is part of maximizing what the season produces. A worn-out truck that breaks down at noon on a Tuesday in October, or a trailer that cannot get the load home because the hitch is failing, costs more in the long run than a payment on reliable equipment. Farm hauling equipment is worth financing like the working asset it is.
We finance farm semi trucks, straight trucks, grain carts matched to road-legal trailers, and the hopper-bottom trailers that move grain from the bin to the buyer. Deals start at $50,000, with a full truck-and-trailer rig often running from $80,000 to $200,000 depending on age and specification. Payment timing can match the harvest-driven cash flow pattern of a grain operation.
Farm Hauling Equipment That Qualifies
Farm semi trucks used primarily for grain and livestock hauling qualify as farm equipment in our program, distinct from over-the-road commercial trucking. Brands like International, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Mack, and Freightliner all appear regularly in farm truck financing. Most farms in grain country run a Class 7 or Class 8 truck with a hopper-bottom or gravity trailer behind it.
Hopper-bottom grain trailers come in a range of capacities. Common sizes hold 900 to over 1,000 bushels of grain. Tandem-axle versions suit most road situations. Spread-axle trailers meet weight distribution requirements on some routes and are common where overweight permits are not easily obtained. A new grain trailer from Timpte, Wilson, Demco, or J&M typically runs from $45,000 to over $75,000 depending on capacity and options.
Farm straight trucks, including the class of cab-over-engine grain trucks used on smaller operations, qualify for financing when the transaction meets our $50,000 minimum. These often haul in situations where a full semi combination is too large for the lanes or the bridge weights involved.
Combine hookup and header transport trailers also fall into this category. A dual-lane header trailer or a combine transport trailer allows a large combine to move from field to field or from farm to farm without the permit and escort requirements of oversized loads in some states.

Farm Hauling in Today's Harvest Season
Harvest efficiency depends on moving grain off the field as fast as the combine can cut it, and on getting to the elevator without long waits or multiple short loads. Operations that own their own hauling equipment control their own logistics during the harvest window. Those that rely entirely on hired trucks sometimes wait when everyone else is also trying to get to the elevator at the same time.
Farms that have invested in on-farm grain storage depend especially on reliable hauling. Moving grain from the bin to the elevator or to a buyer on a decided marketing date requires a truck that is ready to go. A broken truck on a day when the basis is favorable is an expensive breakdown.
In the Iowa and Nebraska corn belts, where many farms harvest tens of thousands of bushels in a matter of days, having the right hauling capacity is part of the harvest plan rather than an afterthought. Financing a truck or trailer addition before harvest is far better than scrambling mid-season.
Farm Refinance Questions
Yes. A truck-and-trailer combination is one of the more common transactions we see in this category. We look at the combined value and structure the deal as a single transaction with one payment.
A cash-out refinance depends on the current value of the truck relative to what you want to borrow. High-mileage trucks have reduced value, but a well-maintained semi in the 300,000- to 500,000-mile range on a reliable engine platform can still carry meaningful collateral value. We will tell you quickly what is possible.
Yes. We work with newer operations. The story behind the farm, the equipment's collateral value, and a realistic payment plan relative to projected revenue all factor in. First-year farmers are harder to underwrite than established operations, but they are not automatically turned away.
Either works in most cases. We underwrite based on the entity responsible for the debt and the farm operation it serves. Let us know how you hold your farm equipment and we will work with what makes sense for your situation.
Private-party purchases of farm trailers are eligible. We need a bill of sale and basic information about the trailer including manufacturer, age, capacity, and condition. An inspection helps but is not always required on well-known equipment in a normal age range.
