Canadian sales of agricultural tractors dropped 11 percent, while combine sales dropped 17 percent in October compared to last year. “This month’s decline in sales follows a slight uptick in both Canadian and U.S. sales in September,” said Curt Blades, senior vice president at AEM. “However, we understand the uncertainty and volatility that remains in the marketplace.” The biggest drop in U.S. tractor sales was in the four-wheel drive segment, which fell to 316 sold in October 2025 compared to the same month last year, a 56 percent decline. U.S. combine sales totaled 514 in October 2024, falling to 376 this year, a 27 percent drop. Year-to-date combine sales were down 38 percent compared to 2024.
