U.S. and Canadian 4WD Tractor Sales Rise in October

U.S. sales of 4-wheel-drive tractors rose 7.7% in October 2026 compared with October 2025, according to new data from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM). Canadian 4-wheel-drive tractor sales also climbed 2.7% in the same period.

Total U.S. sales of agricultural tractors declined 0.5% while combine sales dropped 9.6% compared to the year before. Meanwhile in Canada, total tractors declined 4.2% while combine sales dropped 7.5% compared to the year before.

“October’s slight gains in 4-wheel-drive tractor sales are a welcome bright spot,” said Curt Blades, AEM Senior Vice President. “However, the agriculture market remains challenging with ongoing trade questions adding to this volatility. This industry is resilient and its commitment to modernizing equipment and adopting innovative technologies is strong.”
