Agricultural Tractor and Combine Sales See Declines Across the U.S. and Canada in May 2026

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."
