2021 North America Tractor and Combine Sales Continue To Explode
Tractor and Combine Sales Continue to Outpace 2020 in North America
Overall unit sales of both ag tractors and combines continue their impressive growth above an already-hot pace set in 2020, according to the latest data from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM).
U.S. total self-propelled combine sales jumped 34.6% in September, the third month in a row of growth near or above 20% for harvesters. According to AEM, year-to-date combine sales are up 17.3% with 4,409 units sold.
Total U.S. farm tractor sales climbed 2.5% in September compared to 2020. The sub-40 horsepower stayed moderately positive, growing 0.4%, while the mid-size 41- to 100-horsepower segment was up 2.4%.
Heavy duty units saw another big month, with 100-plus horsepower units up 23%; however, the articulated 4WD segment showed a 1.3% decline for the month. Overall, year-to-date farm tractor sales remain up 12.2%.
For Canada, September monthly tractor and combine sales were mostly positive as well, with both ag tractors and combines finishing the month in the black. The sub-40-horsepower segment was up 13.5% while the biggest growth sector was combine harvesters, up 23.5% with 142 units sold.
Total farm tractor sales were up 7.2% despite a 24.3% decline for September in the articulated 4WD unit category. Even so, year-to-date articulated 4WD are up approximately 55%.
“The growth in ag tractor and combine sales is great news for the industry,” said Bryce Meehan, tractor sales expert at Team Tractor Ranch in Phoenix, AZ.
According to Curt Blades, Senior Vice President, of Agricultural Services at the AEM --- “Year-to-date, every segment is up double-digits over last year, which was already a high-growth year. We look forward to these trends continuing through the rest of the year and into the next.”
