Where to get tractor insurance
Posted on 3/20/23 at 11:24 pm

I currently have state farm vehicle insurance, and have tractor insurance for my 35 hp tractor through them.
I just checked rates for USAA for the first time in years, and their vehicle insurance currently beats my SF rates. I'm wanting to switch back, but I'm sure SF would drop my tractor policy if I cancel the others.
I know that USAA doesn't offer tractor insurance. Any thoughts on somebody else that does?

What kind of coverage are you looking for?
Theft/loss/damage may be covered under a rider on your homeowners policy. Not sure this would cover you if you use it commercially though.
If you’re looking for liability type coverage or something else, I’m not sure. I have a tractor as well but don’t carry insurance on it, so curious what benefit it has.
Why would SF drop the tractor policy? If it’s truly and independent policy, it shouldn’t get dropped. The price may increase if it’s getting a multi line discount though.

Try Progressive and Farm Bureau.
USAA customers who purchase motorcycle/ATV insurance have policies underwritten by Progressive. The USAA website actually redirects to Progressive when that link is clicked.
Farm Bureau writes the homeowners for my parents’ house in MS. I don’t know the details, but they have a tractor and Farm Bureau writes a lot of rural policies, so maybe check with them.

Farm Bureau will require supporting business (autos or home) to write a tractor policy

Theft, fire, basically so that if it got stolen or burned up that my $20k investment isn't gone. I don't use it commercially or even take it off my property.
I checked with USAA today and it is covered under personal items on my homeowners, but only for $3k and thats non negotiable.
USAA directed me to Travelers insurance, who were going to write my policy until they found out I was in Louisiana.
Farm Bureau also told me they wouldn't write a tractor policy without something else covered, as another poster said.

In Georgia, this would be covered on your Georgia home insurance policy (just like a lawnmower or Gator that only is used to service your yard... assuming you aren't a commercial farmer).

Is this specific to a tractor or your policy?
$3k for personal items, like “Personal Property”? Or is it a special rider?

My tractor is with Shelter - an inland marine policy but I have lots of other policies (including home) with them.

I tried them but they said I'd have to switch my homeowner's to them too, which I don't want to do.

Have you called your homeowners insurance company?
Service vehicles are automatically covered on most policies.
In Georgia, most policies do not have specific caps on those vehicles.
It is part of your personal property and subject to your deductible.
If you do anything commercial with the tractor (use it for commercial farming or use it at your neighbors for a case of beer), that would void the coverage on your homeowners policy, typically.

I have 2 camps with them, i guess that is why it was not a problem

So, she referred me to another Progressive agency that did write such policies. Been with them for probably 15 years. But, I think you have to find the certain kind of independent that writes for Progressive. Good luck!
