Can you finance a feed mixer?

Yes, feed mixers are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £14,000 to £100,000, and most deals are written over 12–60 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

What buyers actually specify

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

Tax benefits

Feed mixers qualify for Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting you deduct the full cost from taxable profits in year one, up to £1,000,000. HP gives access to capital allowances; lease payments are fully deductible from farming profits.

Market context

Diet feeders and mixer wagons are used daily on dairy and beef units to produce a consistent total mixed ration, so unlike most agricultural machinery on this site, use is spread across the whole year rather than concentrated into a single season, which is why feed mixer finance is often structured with standard monthly repayments rather than a seasonal profile. Buyers range from a single-auger trailed feeder on a smaller herd to a self-propelled mixer on a larger dairy unit feeding several groups a day, and auger and paddle wear from daily use tends to drive replacement more than age. Established UK and Irish manufacturers support a reasonably active used market, particularly for trailed diet feeders.

Bad credit?

Several of our 200+ lenders specialise in businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options exist. Checking your options here does not affect your credit score, because we do not run a credit search to match you. A lender will run their own checks only if you decide to apply.

Frequently asked questions

Can I finance a used feed mixer?
Yes. Most lenders finance used diet feeders and mixer wagons up to around 10 years old, subject to condition of the auger, paddles, and tub. Given daily year-round use, a check on wear parts and the weigh system is worthwhile before buying used, since these components wear steadily through continuous operation rather than sitting idle for parts of the year like more seasonal farm machinery. A mixer with a documented weigh cell calibration history will generally be viewed more favourably by a lender than one without any service paperwork at all.
Is a feed mixer financed on seasonal terms like other farm equipment?
Not usually. Because a mixer is used every day of the year rather than in a defined season, most feed mixer finance is structured as a standard monthly repayment, though some lenders will still flex the profile if your farm has genuinely seasonal milk or livestock income. This sets a feed mixer apart from most other equipment on this site, where finance is commonly aligned to harvest or livestock sale dates, since a mixer earns its keep continuously through the year rather than in short, concentrated bursts.
Should I choose a single-auger, twin-auger, or self-propelled mixer?
That depends on herd size and how many rations you're feeding each day rather than on the finance itself. A single-auger trailed feeder suits smaller herds, while a twin-auger or self-propelled mixer suits larger units feeding multiple groups, with the finance amount scaling accordingly. A self-propelled mixer costs considerably more than a trailed feeder of similar capacity, since it combines the mixing wagon and the power unit in one machine, so lenders will size the deposit and term to reflect that step up in value.
Can I finance a feed mixer alongside a telehandler for loading it?
Yes. Many lenders will finance a feed mixer and a telehandler or loader together as one facility, which is a common combination for dairy and beef units setting up or upgrading their feeding system. Financing both on the same agreement gives one repayment schedule to track rather than two separate facilities running to different dates, and it can also simplify the application, since the lender assesses the whole feeding system as one project rather than two unrelated purchases arriving at different times.
What deposit do I need for a feed mixer?
For hire purchase, most lenders ask for a 10-20% deposit, while finance leases and operating leases can often be arranged with no deposit at all. Because a mixer is used every day of the year rather than seasonally, many dairy and beef units prioritise keeping the monthly payment predictable over minimising the deposit, though a larger deposit will still reduce that monthly cost across the term of the agreement.
What happens at the end of a feed mixer finance agreement?
Hire purchase transfers full ownership of the mixer once the agreement is paid off, which suits most dairy and beef units since a mixer wagon is typically kept and used daily for many years. A finance lease usually offers a balloon payment to take ownership, continued rental, or handover to the funder, while an operating lease is return-only, which suits a larger unit wanting to move up to a self-propelled mixer without a big capital outlay once herd size or ration complexity grows beyond what a trailed feeder can manage.
