Ritchie Bros. Financial Services funds US$1+ billion in equipment and vehicle purchases in 2022

For the first time in its 11-year history, Ritchie Bros. Financial Services surpassed US$1 billion in annual funded volume, helping tens of thousands of customers around the world purchase used equipment, vehicles, and other industrial assets in 2022.

"Ritchie Bros. Financial Services continues to drive industry-leading customer experience with our innovative, flexible financing and leasing solutions, combined with a fast and efficient approval process," said Chris Quinn, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Ritchie Bros. Financial Services. "In 2022, more than half of our funded volume came from repeat customers. At the same time, we are attracting new customers every single day. Last year, we also saw approval rates above 80%, which is a new record, and the percentage of transactions funded on the Ritchie Bros. marketplace increased by 15%, helping facilitate more transactions for buyers and create better pricing for sellers."

Ritchie Bros. Financial Services offers several different solutions to its customers, including PurchaseFlex Financing, which enables customers to get pre-approved for financing for any type of equipment, regardless of brand or asset type. This is unique to RBFS, as most traditional lenders require exact equipment details prior to approval, which limits your options on auction day. This increased flexibility, along with the ease and speed of approvals, has made RBFS a preferred choice for customers acquiring used equipment. PurchaseFlex Financing also offers $0 down and 90- or 120-day payment deferment options

Experience the next level of precision spraying with the John Deere 500R sprayer and its new generation boom. Designed for modern farming operations and professional contractors, the 500R combines exceptional boom stability, accurate application and high productivity even at spraying speeds of up to 30 km/h.

The new boom generation features a compact 2.55 m transport width for safe and easy road travel across Europe, while unfolding in the field to working widths of up to 48 meters. A lightweight yet extremely rigid structure, combined with BoomTrac Pro 2, Active Boom Yaw Control and active roll damping, keeps the boom correctly positioned for consistent coverage and reduced drift.

Advanced spraying technologies such as ExactApply with 6-nozzles switchable from the cab, or single nozzle INC Pro using pulse width modulation ensure precise droplet control, minimized overlaps and optimized input efficiency. The result: higher accuracy, lower chemical usage and improved agronomic outcomes even in challenging field conditions.
