The report shows sales of agriculture tractors were down 9.1% while combine sales dropped 25.3% compared to March 2025.   AEM’s report also show a similar trend in Canadian sales. According to the data, Canadian sales of agricultural tractors fell 16.3% while combine sales dipped 60.6% compared to the year before.  

These numbers reflect the overall softness in the Ag economy,” said Curt Blades, senior vice president of industry sectors and product leadership at AEM. “Despite these declines in sales in 2026, the commitment to modernizing equipment and adopting innovative technologies remains strong, positioning the industry for long-term growth.”

According to new data from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), U.S. sales of combines rose 68% in January 2026 compared to the year before. Total sales of Ag tractors declined 4.7% during the same period. Meanwhile, Canadian sales of combines jumped 447.6% in January 2026 compared to 2025’s sales, while total Ag tractors sales improved 8.8% compared to the same time frame.

“After several months of challenging numbers, it’s encouraging to see a modest uptick in combine sales this January,” said Association of Equipment Manufacturers Senior Vice President Curt Blades. “Overall tractor sales continue to be soft indicating the overall state of farm economy and underscoring the need for more certainty in biofuels and global ag markets.”

According to new data from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), U.S. sales of ag tractors and combines fell in December 2025 compared to the year before.

U.S. sales of total ag tractors dropped 14.8% while sales of combines declined 4.3% in December 2025 compared to the year before. Meanwhile, Canadian sales of ag tractors were down 13.7%, while combine sales jumped 26.1% in December compared to the year before.

“December’s data is a result of the economic instability and pressures farmers have faced the past months,” said Association of Equipment Manufacturers Senior Vice President Curt Blades. Throughout this short-term decline in sales, equipment manufacturers remain committed to supporting farmers with the equipment they need. As we look into 2026, AEM remains confident in the industry’s resilience and unique ability to adapt.”

New data from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) reveals strong growth in Canada’s tractor market. Sales of 4-wheel drive tractors surged by 24.7% year-to-date through June 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. Meanwhile, total agricultural tractor sales in Canada saw a modest year-to-date increase of 1.6%.

In June 2025, U.S. sales of agricultural tractors and combines continued to trend downward. Overall tractor sales dropped 4.4% compared to June 2024, while combine sales saw a sharper decline of 43.7%.

“The ongoing slump in U.S. combine and tractors sales demonstrates the market challenges facing the agricultural sector,” said AEM Senior Vice President Curt Blades. “We know farmers are hesitant to make major investments with global trade instability, high interest rates, and increased input prices. We’re encouraged by Canada’s continued strong performance throughout these summer months. The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is also a significant step forward for the agricultural equipment industry.”

U.S. sales dropped in all categories in May 2025, with total agricultural tractor sales down 11.9% and combine sales dropping 20.9% compared to May 2024.

“This continued slump of U.S. tractor and combine sales reflects broader challenges in the ag economy,” says Curt Blades, Senior Vice President of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers. “High interest rates, global trade uncertainty and increased input prices are causing farmers to delay major equipment purchases. At the same time, we’re encouraged by the strong performance in the Canadian market and remain hopeful that overall conditions will improve as the planting season progresses.”

According to recent data from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), Canadian sales of agricultural tractors grew 3.4% in April year-to-date, while sales of 4-wheel-drive tractors jumped 46.3% during the same time frame.

U.S. sales dropped in all categories in April 2025, with total agricultural tractor sales down 13.3% and combines falling 48.3% year-to-date.

“The April report of slow tractor and combine sales is reflective of the overall softness in the ag economy. Increased input prices, high interest rates, and global trade concerns are leading to farmers taking more of a cautious approach to their capital investments.” says Curt Blades, Senior Vice President of Association of Equipment Manufacturers. “With planting season underway, we remain optimistic the ag economy will improve, leading to a strengthening of the agriculture equipment market.”
