Spread the cost of grain dryers from £40,000 to £350,000+ with flexible finance options. HP, lease, or refinance
Yes, grain dryers 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 £40,000 to £350,000, and most deals are written over 24–84 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

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.

Grain dryers 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. Fixed dryer installations may also qualify for structures and buildings allowance where the underlying building work is separately identified.
Grain dryers are usually bought by arable farms and grain stores that need to bring cereals down to a safe storage moisture level straight off the combine, so the right capacity depends heavily on harvest logistics rather than farm size alone, a farm combining quickly over a short window may need more drying throughput than a larger farm with a slower harvest. Because a dryer is typically installed as a fixed part of the grain store rather than moved between sites, replacement decisions tend to follow burner efficiency, fuel type, and changing throughput needs as much as mechanical wear, and continuous-flow dryers from established UK manufacturers are widely serviced and supported.
Some specialist lenders consider businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options may be available. Fundably may use a soft credit check for matching, which does not affect your credit score. A hard check may happen if you choose to proceed with a lender.
