Seasonal repayments available. Low doc options for primary producers.
Finance Your Water Infrastructure
Water is the most valuable resource on any Australian farm, and irrigation infrastructure is often the single biggest capital investment a farmer makes outside of land. Getting it right — and getting it financed correctly — can transform a farming operation's productivity.
At Your Lending Friend, we specialise in irrigation equipment finance for Australian primary producers. We work with lenders who understand seasonal cash flows, can structure repayments around your harvest or cropping cycle, and offer low doc pathways for farmers who prefer straightforward applications.
Whether you're installing your first centre pivot on a cropping property, upgrading an ageing drip system on a horticultural block, or putting in a new bore and pump system, we'll find finance that works for your operation.

Irrigation Equipment Finance FAQs

Yes, though used equipment typically requires more documentation and may require a deposit of 10-20%. The equipment needs to be in working order and ideally have a supplier or contractor inspection report to assist valuation.

GST registration is required for some products (particularly chattel mortgage where you claim GST upfront). Non-GST registered primary producers can still access finance, but the structure may differ. We'll advise what's available for your situation.

Using farm equity (via a rural mortgage) can offer lower interest rates but involves more complex documentation and may take longer. Asset finance (chattel mortgage or lease) is faster, simpler, and preserves your equity for other needs. We'll compare both options if relevant to your situation.
