New ag equipment generally has extremely good rates, so good that it often doesnt make sense to pay cash. First thing I would look at is financing through the manufacturer.

For used I have no clue.

I just bought a new Kubota L3301 and got 0% for 5 years. I think most of the manufacturers offer 0% financing.

Is lightstream a type of loan, or a company that does these types of loans?

Thanks for the responses thus far!

online lending division of suntrust bank

They typically have the best rates along with local credit unions and PenFed.

What flanders said. I have found they are super easy to deal with on smaller transactions when buying a used car/boat etc. You tell them what you are buying but they dont file a lien on the title.

If you are buying new the dealer can most likely give better rates.

I bought my 2013 Kubota L3800 this past February and used River Reigon Credit Union in Lutcher.
