For those of us who live well outside the city limits, having access to Amazon’s speedy delivery service is a wonderful perk of the modern world. My family has had a Prime membership for several years now, which means free shipping and two-day delivery on most anything we could want — right to the doorstep of our remote corner of America. It saves us time and money in the long run. So whenever the Amazon’s major deal holidays roll around (think Black Friday-like discounts!), it’s habit to start scouring the list for things that are great fits for farmers and others of us who love rural life. We do our best to pull together the best Amazon Big Deal Days items for farmers and other rural residents. This is basically Amazon Prime Day in October.
These shopping holidays have grown year after year, and for good reason: You can expect discounts on more than 2 million products, including many that fit perfectly into rural and farm lifestyles. If you don’t have an Amazon Prime membership, you can get one here.
The 2023 Amazon Big Deal Days event takes place October 10 and 11.
ecause Amazon will be rolling out many of its deals gradually (and other deals called Lighting Deals are only available for a small time frame), not all of the event’s deals are in place immediately or throughout the entire two days. Be sure to check back to this page often with updated lists throughout Amazon Big Deal Days!
Here are our picks for the best 2023 Amazon Prime Day deals for farmers, ranchers, and anyone else in rural communities (deals are subject to change):
46% OFF — Liquid Fence Deer and Rabbit Repellent Concentrate
Prime time for your garden (and even your hostas) has already passed, but if you’re anything like us, the deer are still hanging around in force, chomping on whatever they can get their tummies on ahead of winter. Liquid Fence’s Deer and Rabbit Repellent doesn’t require the animals to eat the plants as the scent of the product itself acts as a deterrent. While you wouldn’t spray it directly onto edible plants, it can be used in the vicinity on things like landscaped ornamental gardens, flowers, shrubs, trees, and vines. And it’s rain repellent!
The concentrate version is best to use in large areas with a tank or backpack sprayer.
69% OFF — BOSCH 40-Piece Assorted Impact Tough Drill Drive
The Bosch Impact Tough drill bits are impact rated and provide 10 times longer bit life than standard impact bits. Their Xtended Torsion Zone helps to absorb high-torque peaks to reduce stress or breakage of bit tips on new impact drivers, and a black oxide coating on drill bits provides lower fiction, along with less heat for long life.
30% OFF — DeWalt Digital Portable Power Station Jump Starter
This DeWalt Jump Starter delivers 1400 peak amps to swiftly jump start cars and trucks up to V8. It has reverse polarity protection to assure that jumper cables are connected correctly, and it works as a battery pack charger. The unit comes fitted with a 120 PSI digital compressor, while its auto-stop function and Surefit nozzle offer precision tire inflation. Not to mention, it is equipped with a built-in USB port.
35% OFF — Flexon 100-Foot Farm and Ranch Hose
Are you as picky about finding a good hose as we are? That’s why we like this Flexon hose with commercial-grade rubber. It’s American-made, doesn’t kink easily, and doesn’t crack or have flexibility issues when used in cold weather. It is 5/8 inches in diameter and features a Forever Flow inner tube.
37% OFF — Fiskars Chain-Drive Extendable Tree Pruner and Pole Saw
I have one of these, and it’s a godsend for some of my taller apple and plum trees. This Fiskars tree pruner and pole saw extends from 7 to 16 feet with a lightweight aluminum pole to help minimize fatigue, making it ideal for cutting high branches or making low cuts without bending or kneeling. The low-friction coating on the blade helps it glide through wood and prevents gumming up with sap or debris, while the chain-drive gearing mechanism provides maximum cutting power.
34% OFF — MotoAlliance ATV/UTV 3-Position Blade
The Pro Series of IMPACT Implements was designed to equip any vehicle with a 2-inch hitch for a wide variety of tasks on any food plot, lawn, or landscaping project site. These durable implements find the sweet spot in performance and versatility. They are heavy enough to do the job well, and lightweight enough to maneuver.
28% OFF — VEVOR Lawnmower Blade Grinder
Confession time: I still use a good ol’ hand file to resharpen my mower blades. I could use something more to make the job easier and quicker. So this 7-inch blade grinder is pretty enticing. It adopts a 500W pure copper motor with faster speed and better heat dissipation performance. The grinding plate has a larger contact surface with the blade to produce a sharp and smooth edge — all mounted on a steel base. This blade grinder allows you to grind mower blades and other tools and accessories.
30% OFF — Alientape Nano Double Sided Tape
If you haven’t used this stuff before, it’s worth giving it a try for any heavy-duty taping needs. This double-sided acrylic tape with nano tech is ideal for mounting purposes: Think metal, plastic, aluminum, or glasses surfaces — just not dry-painted surfaces. And it doesn’t require curing or drying stage; just press the item against the surface with tape in between for instantaneous mounting.
40% OFF — Samsung Galaxy Tab Active3 Enterprise Edition 8” Tablet
Like it or not, we are thoroughly connected in agriculture. And having a tablet in your hands can help with all sorts of functions, from operating irrigation lines to keeping track of payroll. And if you use Android instead of Apple’s iOS, then the Samsung Galaxy tablet series is great for you. With this tablet’s military-grade design, dust, dirt, sand, and water won’t get in your way, plus it has an IP68-Certified Samsung S Pen gives you the precision you need to write or tap no matter the conditions. The only downside: It has just 4 GB of memory, so be aware of that limitation.
23% OFF — Suncast 20-Foot Plastic Landscape Edging Roll
Not everything is a big task — sometimes a little sprucing up here or there is all that’s needed. This edging roll is a manageable size, mMade with 100 percent post-consumer recycled plastic, and conforms to any shape, making it convenient for you to create a landscape, garden, or flower bed border that you desire.
And, of course, not every awesome farm item gets a discount for Prime Day, no matter how hard we beg the bosses at Amazon to do so. Here are a few more items that we love too much not to tell you about:
Leatherman Wave Plus Multitool
It’s hard to make a knife list for farmers and leave off the game-changing brand in multitools: Leatherman. And out of everything they make, the Wave is our favorite (and the company’s most popular). It is equipped with 17 tools: knives, pliers, screwdrivers, a small bit driver for eyeglasses, wire cutters, a wire stripper, scissors, bottle and can openers, files, a saw, and a ruler. Pretty much perfect for the jack-of-all-trades that a farmer has to be.
Do Not Confuse Your Google Search With My Agriculture Degree Stainless Steel Mug
This is our new go-to coffee mug! Who among us isn’t tired of the army of “keyboard farmers” on social media? This travel mug sums things up nicely, and is a perfect gift for anyone heading off to college or who has wrapped up their ag education. Just a heads up, though, this isn’t part of Amazon Prime, so expect delivery to take longer than a couple of days.
Carhartt Men’s Rugged Flex Rigby Double Front Pant
This is one of Carhartt’s newest items, and we’ve been testing it out for the past few weeks. Absolutely love it! It’s darn-near replaced most of our other farm pants. They sport a mid-weight canvas blend, which isn’t too hot in the warmer months, with the perfect amount of stretch for easy movement. And they’ve got all the traditional jean pockets — plus a secure right thigh phone pocket and a left thigh utility pocket for your knife.
While the Hickory color (in the pic above) is our fav, these pants are also available in Shadow and Tarmac colors.
Dovetail Freshley Overall in Black Stretch Denim
These are not repurposed, boxy men’s overalls. They’re intentionally designed to complement a woman’s frame, without sacrificing the functionality of men’s overalls. There are deep pockets galore. Accessible — and functional — pockets! There’s even one on the breast of the overalls. A large cellphone (Samsung Note 8) fits securely in nearly every one of the pockets. There’s plenty of room to accommodate its size, and the stretch in the denim keeps it from flopping around. There’s a zippered pocket on the rear leg that’s great for holding valuables such as keys, your ID, and credit cards.
The Freshley has a slightly stretchy fabric — the overalls move with your body: while stacking hay, trimming my goats’ hooves, whatever — and yet the reinforced knee panels mean the fabric stays strong despite the abuse of farm or construction work.
Some super cool features: There’s a small round hole in the front bib pocket, perfect for earbuds cord or even some twine. Not to be outdone — there’s also a secret zipper in that pocket on the side.
