Why hire from Farmacist
Hiring through us isn't just renting a machine. Every implement comes with agronomy-backed setup, training and ongoing support, so you can focus on getting the paddock right instead of wrestling with new gear.
Maintained & field-ready
Every implement is serviced before pickup. Show up, hook up, run it — no fixing in the paddock on day one.
Setup & training included
Our agronomists calibrate the implement, set rates and walk your operator through it. You get the know-how, not just the gear.
Day-rate flexibility
Hire by the day on simple terms. No long commitments, no minimum periods — just the right gear when you need it.

Our hire fleet is based out of Mackay, with day-rate hire available across the Mackay Whitsunday and Plane Creek regions. For Burdekin, Herbert or Far North enquiries, get in touch — we can usually arrange custom delivery on a case-by-case basis.
All hire is day rate only. Prices listed are inclusive of GST per day. There's no minimum hire period for day-rate gear — pick it up, run it for the day, return it. For longer runs or seasonal hire, talk to us and we'll work out a package.
Yes. Every hire includes operator training and walkthrough of the equipment so your team knows how to run it safely and get the best result in the paddock. We don't just hand you the keys — we make sure you're set up to succeed.
Yes. Setup support is included with every hire. Our agronomists will help configure the implement for your tractor, set rates, and walk you through calibration so the gear performs from day one.
Within the Mackay region we can arrange delivery and pickup for an additional fee. Outside Mackay, delivery is arranged on a custom enquiry basis. Most local growers collect from our Mackay yard.
Hirers are responsible for the equipment while it's in their possession. We'll walk you through condition before pickup and after return. For high-value items a refundable deposit may apply — we'll let you know upfront.
