June provided good news for the tractor industry with new registrations helping to boost the market..
However, with rising input costs and low farmer confidence, the machinery market remains in a tight spot according to the Agricultural Engineers Association (AEA).
According to the latest report from the AEA, some 999 agricultural tractors were registered during the month of June – up 17.3% compared to the same time last year.
First-half year registrations reached 5955 units, an increase of 22.3% compared to 2025 with the number also superseding the total registrations recorded in the first half of 2024.
The report points to a reasonable recovery from the very low level of registrations seen last year. However, the market continues to remain below normal seasonal levels.
The AEA stated recovery remains fragile, with low farmer confidence and the increase in agricultural input costs being the main factors.
These challenges suggest the market may see numbers slow down again as the industry heads into the latter half of the year with costs continuing to rise holding back farmer investment.
