Tractor and combine harvester sales fall in the US market
Figures released by AEM show that tractor sales in the US in November 2025 are down nearly 20% compared to the same period last year, while combine harvester sales are down even more - by more than 35%.
These figures reflect not only seasonal fluctuations, but also deeper trends in the market, where farmers are increasingly holding back on investments.
The decline in sales is linked to several reasons: the reduction in farmers' incomes due to lower farm-gate prices, the tightening of financing conditions and the general economic uncertainty in the agricultural sector. Increasing costs and credit challenges are said to have a direct impact on farmers' ability to invest in new machinery, leading to an overall weakening of demand.
Analysts point out that falling sales do not necessarily imply a long-term trend, but it is forcing manufacturers to review their production plans and financing offers to customers. Renting machinery and cheaper servicing may be some of the ways to reduce risks for both sides, they stress.
