According to recent data from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), ag tractor monthly sales fell in June 2022 for the U.S and Canada. Harvester sales, however, grew in both countries.
Year-over-year, tractor sales in the U.S. fell 8.2%, and combine sales grew 25.3%.
“We’re glad to see the growth in combine harvesters this month,” said Curt Blades, AEM senior vice president of industry sectors & product leadership. “That helped put both countries at or above their five-year average for the month of June in overall unit sales, despite ongoing supply chain challenges holding ag tractors back.”
AEM reports total farm tractor sales are down 13.4%, while combine harvester unit sales improved, down only 5.5% for the year.
In Canada, overall unit sales in tractors were down 5%, while combine harvester unit sales grew 35.1%. Year-to-date farm tractor unit sales are down 7.9% in Canada and harvesters are down 15.5%.
