Milwaukee (June 11, 2025) – According to recent data from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), Canadian sales of combines rose 15.7% in May 2025 compared to May 2024, while sales of 4-wheel-drive tractors jumped 35.6% year-to-date.
U.S. sales dropped in all categories in May 2025, with total agricultural tractor sales down 11.9% and combine sales dropping 20.9% compared to May 2024.
“This continued slump of U.S. tractor and combine sales reflects broader challenges in the ag economy,” says Curt Blades, Senior Vice President of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers. “High interest rates, global trade uncertainty and increased input prices are causing farmers to delay major equipment purchases. At the same time, we’re encouraged by the strong performance in the Canadian market and remain hopeful that overall conditions will improve as the planting season progresses.”
