U.S. Combine Sales Continue to Decline while Canadian Sales Rise

According to the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, Canadian sales of combines grew 11.4% from July 2024 to July 2025.  Canadian sales of two-wheel-drive tractors also increased slightly, growing three percent in July 2025 compared to July 2024.

Meanwhile, U.S. sales of combines fell 43%, while total agricultural tractor sales fell by 4.9% in July 2025 compared to last year.

“While we are encouraged by the modest growth in Canadian combine and tractor sales, the significant declines in the U.S. reflect ongoing caution in the marketplace,” said AEM Senior Vice President Curt Blades. “We believe North American farmers are carefully evaluating their capital assets and taking a measured approach to equipment purchases, balancing operational needs with broader economic uncertainty.”

The biggest drop in the U.S. was in self-propelled combine sales, dropping almost 44% from July 2024 to this year.
