In China, return migrants' rural–urban migration experience and its impact on agricultural production have attracted increasing attention. Using the random survey data of 1122 rice farmers from the Yangtze River Basin in 2016, this study utilizes the endogenous treatment–effect model to investigate the impact of rural–urban migration experience on farmers' agricultural machinery expenditure. The results demonstrate that return migrants with rural–urban migration experience account for 23.3% of the total sampled farmers. After addressing the endogeneity issue, rural–urban migration experience can increase rice farmers' agricultural machinery expenditure by 500–600 yuan/ha. Meanwhile, the positive impact of rural–urban migration experience on agricultural machinery expenditure is also heterogeneous in terms of farmers' age and rice farm size. Based on the results, this study proposes assisting return migrants' engagement in agriculture, supporting agricultural mechanization for the aged farmers, and enhancing the coordination between agricultural mechanization and appropriately scaled agricultural operations.
