Yes. Post knockers and post drivers are financeable, either as a standalone purchase or as part of a larger package with a tractor or other machinery. Tractor-mounted, trailed and self-contained tracked units are all commonly funded, usually on hire purchase over a term matched to the machine’s working life.
Post knockers are bought by a mix of farms, fencing contractors and agricultural contractors, and the way a lender views the application depends on which you are. An established farm adding a knocker to an existing fleet is a different proposition from a new fencing contractor buying their first machine. Both are possible; the second usually requires more supporting information.
Because the value is lower than a tractor or combine, small-ticket asset finance is often the route, and decisions can be quicker. Some lenders have a minimum transaction size, so a low-value machine on its own may not suit every funder — in which case bundling it with another purchase can make more sense.
The benefit is straightforward: a knocker turns a slow, labour-intensive job into a fast one and can pay for itself in contract fencing work. The cost is a fixed commitment and a total figure higher than the cash price. As with any secured agreement, the machine is at risk if payments are not maintained.
