The man told police a Massey Ferguson hay baler, worth $78,000, had been stolen.
A report was made to Tallangatta police on April 2.
Officers investigated the matter and have now recovered the hay baler, and allege the 48-year-old owner falsely claimed it had been stolen.
"A Wodonga man has been charged with attempt to obtain property by deception and make false report to police," a spokesman said.
"He has been bailed to appear at Wodonga Magistrates Court at a later date."
