CHANGE AT THE TOP OF THE TRACTOR CHARTS

The AEA has announced the market share data for 2022 tractor registrations.

The total number of tractors registered in 2022 was 14,071, including both agricultural tractors (over 50hp) and compact tractors (50hp and below).

Stephen Howarth, agricultural economist at the Association said, "It is worth remembering that the market in 2021 and 2022 was affected by widespread disruption to global supply chains and transportation after the pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. These may have had an impact on market shares."

The information below shows the number of machines and market share recorded during that year by brand. As always, the data is released after a one year delay due to competition law restrictions. Figures for 2023 are due to be published in early 2025.

2022 saw John Deere return to the top of the charts again, following two years in second place to CNH. To make this jump back up, Deere's market share increased from 25.3% to 30.4%.

Dropping down into second place meant that CNH's share had slipped from 28.7% in 2021, to 26.0% in 2022.

All the other companies listed on the leaderboard maintained the same position they held in 2021.
