Canada’s biggest used farm equipment shopper publication has added tools to link prospective buyers to options for payment plans and shipping.
AgDealer on Monday announced “major enhancement(s)” at its AgDealer.com site, where each equipment listing will include buttons linking to tools from CWB National Leasing and Trusted Dispatch.
The online tools allow AgDealer.com users to calculate estimated monthly or seasonal payments and apply for financing, or calculate their own shipping costs and book transport directly.
