Large tractors in the 100-200Hp and 200Hp plus range have led the way in January with increases of 8.4% and 42.2% respectively.
With January being a relatively quiet month on the sales front, a total of approximately 500 tractors were sold which was 7% behind the same month last year.
In a complete turnaround from December, smaller tractor sales were very quiet driving the decline in unit sales.

As previously reported, Tractor Sales for 2025 were the lowest reported for more than ten (10) years and whilst the industry is not expecting a return to boom times, there is a general feeling that we have hit the bottom and that gradual improvements can be expected. Machinery suppliers continue to struggle with price increase from European and US suppliers and whilst shipping rates have improved, they too remain a challenge. The impact of the US Tariffs program is impacting supply chains and whilst they remain, will be a drag on demand.
Combine Harvesters had a “month off” and Balers were again strong this month, up 89% on the same month last year. Sales of Out-Front Mowers were 6% behind and finally, sales of Self-Propelled (SP) Sprayers were down 50% compared to January last year.
Just a reminder that the Annual TMA Conference will be held this year in Sydney at the Novotel Brighton Beach on Wednesday July 29th, 2026.
