Ag tractors sales dropped by 19% in September of this year across the country compared to September 2023.
New data from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers says combine sales also fell during the month, dropping 41% compared to last year.
The 100-plus horsepower tractor segment fell the most from last year, dropping almost 27% in September of 2024 compared to last year.
Four-wheel-drive tractors were the segment’s only gain, selling 1.7% more year-to-date from January through September 2024.
“September’s ag tractor and combine sales follow a summer that showed a cyclical slowdown in sales,” says AEM senior vice president Curt Blades. “These declines point to the overall softness in the ag economy.”
