Tractor / Combine Sales

Four-Wheel-Drive Tractors and Combine Harvesters continue growth while some other segments continue declines according to the latest data from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM).

Overall U.S. ag tractor unit sales gained in all but one segment. U.S. self-propelled combine sales grew the most, up 54.6 percent, with 4WD tractors (up 51.1 percent) and 100+hp 2WD units (up 9.8 percent). However, a 2.7 percent decline in the sub-40 hp segment resulted in a 0.7 percent reduction in total farm tractors. Total farm tractor sales in the U.S. for the year are down 12.2 percent versus 2022, while combines are up 68.3 percent.

In Canada, combine harvesters were the biggest growth spot as well, up 68.3 percent for the month, and 107.7 percent for the year. Total unit sales in tractors finished the month down 11.3 percent due to losses in the sub-40 hp and 40-100hp segments, down 14.7 and 13.1 percent respectively. All other tractor segments were positive for the month, with 4WD units leading the way again with 26.6 percent growth. Year to date, tractors in Canada are down 14.1 percent.
