This season · Spring (September to November)
Machinery: what’s on this spring
- Get hay and silage gear ready before the cut, and calibrate the sprayer.Spray tank mix
- Moving big machinery on public roads may need a permit or a pilot vehicle. Check the NHVR rules before the busy season.NHVR agricultural vehicles (official site, opens in a new tab)
Coming up next: summer (December to February)
- Harvest season in the south. Most states limit harvesting, slashing, welding and grinding on total fire ban days. Check your state fire service’s rules and keep water and an extinguisher on every machine.Be ready: fire, flood and storm
- Work out the fuel the harvest will use and when to top up the farm tank.Fuel use calculator
Up north it’s the dry season (about May to October). Timing varies a lot by district and year, so go by your own country and the local forecast. Seasons in each state
Doing it in Australia
Machinery in Australia
Second-hand gear changes hands all the time in the bush. A few checks keep the deal safe and legal.
Big machines on public roads
Wide or heavy agricultural vehicles on public roads have to follow the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator’s notices or hold a permit (WA and the NT have their own rules), often with pilot vehicles, signs and lights.
Quad bikes: rollover protection
Quad bikes sold in Australia must meet a mandatory safety standard. The ACCC recommends rollover protection (an operator protection device), which can also be fitted to older bikes.
Farm safety
Tractors, PTOs and augers cause many serious farm injuries. Guards, maintenance records and a plan for working alone are worth the time.
General information only, not legal, tax or financial advice. Rules differ between states and change over time, so check the official site before you act. These organisations are independent and are not REALM partners. Links checked 07/10/2026.
Buying and selling tips
Buying second-hand
Check hours, service history and wear parts, and ask the seller for extra photos in the comments before you inspect.
Selling your machine
Clear photos, honest hours and a fair price get more enquiries. List once and reach buyers across our network.
Freight & inspection
Plan freight and an on-farm inspection early so the handover goes smoothly for buyer and seller.
