According to new data from the AEM, U.S. sales of agricultural tractors dropped 21.6% compared to May 2025, with combine sales dipping 56.1% in the same period. 

Canadian sales show a 17% drop in total agricultural tractor sales and a 56.5% decline in combine sales compared to May 2025.

“The May reports reflect the ongoing uncertainty and softness in this market,” said Curt Blades, AEM Senior Vice President. “Farmers are hurting, and equipment sales numbers are a clear indication of the overall health of the farm economy and depressed commodity prices. America's farmers and ranchers need long-term trade certainty and public policies that help them stay profitable and resilient.”

The Ag Tractor and Combine reports are released every month and can be found on the AEM Market Share Statistics page. The U.S. report can be downloaded from this page, while the Canadian report is available for download here.
