Farm Equipment-specific legal information

Transfer notes

Farm equipment transfers typically rely on a bill of sale as the primary ownership document. Most states do not title farm implements (combines, balers, plows, etc.). Equipment with an engine and self-propulsion capability may have different rules than towed implements.

Odometer disclosure

Farm equipment is exempt from federal odometer disclosure. Engine hours are the standard usage metric and should be documented on the bill of sale.

Title and registration

Most states do not issue titles for farm equipment. A bill of sale with the serial number, make, model, year, and detailed description serves as the ownership record. UCC lien searches are recommended for high-value equipment.

Special disclosures

  • Serial number verification is critical — farm equipment theft is common, and buyers should verify the serial number against the National Equipment Register.
  • Hydraulic, PTO, and electrical system condition should be noted for self-propelled equipment.
  • Lien status — farm equipment is frequently used as collateral for agricultural loans. Verify clear title before purchase.
