Keeping Your Iron Running: A Guide to Farm Machinery Insurance in Texas

In Texas agriculture, your farm machinery is the heart of your operation. From planting crops to harvesting and caring for livestock, these machines are what keep your farm moving. But equipment faces constant risks, from accidents and weather damage to theft. That is why farm machinery insurance is a smart choice for protecting your livelihood.

At Rollo Insurance, we understand how important your equipment is to your success. We work with Texas farmers to find the coverage that fits your operation and keeps your farm running without a hitch.

Why Farm Machinery Insurance Matters

Your tractors, combines, planters, balers, and other specialized equipment represent a major investment. Insurance shields you from financial setbacks caused by:

  • Physical Damage caused by accidents, collisions, rollovers, fire, lightning, windstorms, hail, or vandalism. Repairing or replacing machinery after a loss can be costly.
  • Theft, especially of newer machines and expensive GPS or guidance systems.
  • Vandalism can lead to unexpected repair bills.
  • Electrical damage from power surges that harm sensitive electronics in modern equipment.
  • Overturns that happen when working uneven ground, which can cause serious damage.
  • Damage from debris like rocks or tree limbs that harm tires, engines, or other parts.
  • Transportation accidents when moving machinery between fields or to service locations.

Coverage Options for Your Machinery

A good farm machinery insurance policy usually includes:

  • Physical Damage Coverage
    • Comprehensive protects against non-collision perils such as fire, theft, vandalism, wind, hail, and falling objects.
    • Collision covers damage from collisions with other vehicles or objects, no matter who is at fault.
  • Specified Peril Coverage lets you choose the specific risks you want covered. This can save money if you know your most likely exposures.
  • Hired and Borrowed Equipment Coverage protects machinery you rent or borrow while it is in your care.
  • Attached Implements Coverage covers tools and implements connected to your tractors or other machines.
  • Blanket Coverage offers a single coverage limit for multiple pieces of equipment, giving you flexibility in claims.
  • Replacement Cost Coverage reimburses you enough to buy new equipment instead of just paying the depreciated value of damaged or stolen machines.

What Affects Your Premiums in Texas?

Several factors influence how much farm machinery insurance costs:

  • The type, value, and age of your equipment. Newer and more expensive machinery usually costs more to insure.
  • How much you use your machinery and how it is stored. Secure storage in locked buildings can help lower premiums.
  • Your coverage limits and deductibles. Higher limits and lower deductibles typically raise your premium.
  • Your farm’s claims history related to machinery. Past losses can increase costs.
  • Your location in Texas. Rates can vary depending on your region.
