According to new data from AEM, U.S. sales of combines rose 68% in January 2026 compared to the year before. Total sales of Ag tractors declined 4.7% during the same period. Meanwhile, Canadian sales of combines jumped 447.6% in January 2026 compared to 2025’s sales, while total Ag tractors sales improved 8.8% compared to the same time frame.

"After several months of challenging numbers, it's encouraging to see a modest uptick in combine sales this January," said Association of Equipment Manufacturers Senior Vice President Curt Blades. "Overall tractor sales continue to be soft indicating the overall state of farm economy and underscoring the need for more certainty in biofuels and global ag markets."

The Ag Tractor and Combine reports 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.
