The total sales of agricultural tractors in the U.S. dropped almost 20 percent, while combine sales fell 35 percent compared to November 2024, according to the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM).
Canadian sales of combines increased 25 percent in November compared to the same time last year, while sales of agricultural tractors dropped seven percent in the same time frame.
“This month’s numbers reflect the continued economic pressure farmers have been navigating for several months,” said Curt Blades, AEM Senior Vice President. “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.”
Blades 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.
