Yes, irrigation booms 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 £15,000 to £120,000, and most deals are written over 36–84 months with a deposit of around 15–20%. 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.

Check EligibilityAn irrigation boom, hose reel irrigator or pivot system is mobile plant and machinery, towed or moved between fields rather than fixed to the land, and qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance up to £1,000,000 in the year of purchase. This is a more straightforward tax position than a buried irrigation main or reservoir, which is closer to a land improvement; where a project combines a boom with fixed infrastructure, ask your accountant to separate the two on the contractor's invoice.
Irrigation booms are bought by field vegetable growers, salad and potato growers, and market gardens on light land where a dry spell can put an unirrigated crop at risk. Finance suits this purchase because the boom, reel or pivot has to be bought and ready ahead of a growing season when the weather cannot be relied on, and spreading the cost avoids drawing on the working capital a grower needs for seed, fertiliser and labour at the same point in the calendar. Replacement is driven mainly by hose, reel and pump wear from repeated seasonal use, and by corrosion on gantry and pivot structures left out in the field over many years, rather than by sudden failure. There is a reasonably active secondhand market for hose reel and boom irrigators among UK growers, with used equipment regularly traded as farms change cropping plans or upgrade to larger coverage.
