Kansas grows more wheat than any state, feeds cattle by the million, builds airplanes in Wichita, and pumps oil across the center of the state. Farm machinery used in agricultural production is exempt from sales tax, and Kansas follows the federal code on bonus depreciation. Purple Wave, one of the largest equipment auction houses in the country, is based in Manhattan.
We place Kansas files with lenders that fund farm, construction, oilfield, and trucking equipment across the state, from a western Kansas wheat operation to a Wichita site-work contractor to an Overland Park carrier. Options in 24 to 48 hours on a soft inquiry.

About financing in Kansas
Equipment financing in Kansas is arranged through Land Tech Capital's network of third-party lenders and lessors. Land Tech Capital is a New York based commercial finance broker, not a lender, and does not hold a Kansas license. Your financing agreement will be with the lender or lessor, who provides any disclosures Kansas law requires. No fee is charged to you before funding, and we are paid by the lender when a deal closes.
Questions we get
Do you finance equipment bought at a Purple Wave auction?
Yes. Auction purchases are financed regularly. Send the lot listing and the invoice, and expect age and hour limits that depend on the lender.
Is a combine exempt from Kansas sales tax?
Farm machinery used in agricultural production is exempt. Give the dealer the exemption certificate at purchase.
Can a farm time payments to harvest?
Yes. Ag programs offer annual or semi-annual schedules that fit a crop cycle. Tell us up front and the file goes to those lenders.
