According to the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, the total sales of agricultural tractors in the U.S. dropped almost 20%, while combine sales fell 35% compared to November 2024.
Canadian sales of combines increased 25% in November compared to the same time last year, while sales of agricultural tractors dropped 7% in the same time frame.
“This month’s numbers reflect the continued economic pressure farmers have been navigating for several months,” said Association of Equipment Manufacturers Senior Vice President Curt Blades. “While we’re seeing a short-term slowdown in sales, equipment manufacturers remain focused on supporting farmers with the tools and technologies that deliver efficiency and long-term value.”
He also said as the agricultural economy moves into 2026, AEM will continue watching market conditions closely and remains confident in the industry’s underlying strength.
