Farm Productivity Grants - used equipment

Location
Wales
Hi folks, I can’t seem to find any info on whether used equipment is eligible under the farm productivity grant. I have a 2 year old milking robot to sell and just wondering whether it would be eligible for somebody to get the 40% grant on. May help in me moving it along. I understand the manufacturers have put the price of a box up considerably since we bought it. If it is eligible would be a hell of a bargain for someone looking for one. Anyway I digress …. used equipment… eligible?

Also, remember you must keep grant purchases up to 5 years before trading.
Will make a difference if you bought it on the grant

Navigating grant eligibility for used equipment can be a bit tricky, and specific terms may vary. It's advisable to check with the grant program directly or consult with relevant authorities to get accurate information on whether a 2-year-old milking robot would qualify. If it does, it could indeed be a great opportunity for someone looking to benefit from the grant and acquire the equipment at a more affordable price. Good luck with the sale!
