Sales of Ag Tractors and Combines Decline in February

New data from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers says U.S. sales of tractors and combines continued to decline in February 2025, in contrast to last year. U.S. sales of agricultural tractors declined 17.7% in February, while U.S. sales of combines fell by 48%.

“While the recent decline in agricultural tractor and combine sales reflect current market challenges, including global trade concerns and tariffs, we continue to remain optimistic about the long-term future of agricultural equipment,” said Curt Blades of AEM. “The resilience and adaptability of our industry have been proven time and time again.”

Four-wheel drive tractors took the biggest drop, falling 41% last month compared to February 2024.

In Canada, four-wheel drive tractor sales rose 237% from February 2024, while self-propelled combine sales dropped 32% during the same time.

“We are confident that through innovation and collaboration, equipment manufacturers can navigate these challenges,” Blades added.
