Our Air Board Program provides incentive funds for the replacement of in-use, off-road mobile equipment that is engaged in agricultural operations as defined by the California Air Resources Board. Funds are provided on a first come, first serve basis and applicants must obtain approval and have a signed, executed contract from N&S Tractor prior to purchase of new equipment. Any equipment purchased prior to contract execution is ineligible as this is not a rebate program.
ELIGIBILITY
- Eligible tractor/equipment includes but is not limited to wheel loaders, balers, combines, graders or tractors.
- Must be self-propelled.
- Must be domiciled and operated annually.
- Must currently be in-use and in operational condition.
- Must have an uncontrolled (Tier 0), Tier 1, or Tier 2 engine that has a horsepower rating of 25 or greater.
- New tractor/equipment must have current model year emissions engine (tier 3, tier 4i, or cleaner depending on hp & availability).
- New tractor / equipment must serve the same function and perform the same work equivalent as the old tractor/equipment.
INCENTIVE
Funding amounts are based on a dollar per horsepower table as determined by the advertised horsepower of the engine in the new tractor, not to exceed 60% of the eligible costs.
