According to the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) mid-range tractors between 40 and 100 horsepower fell 16.3% in the month of July, and the sub-40 horsepower segment led segment losses, down 27.9%. Total farm tractor sales are down 14.8% year-to-date, while combine harvester unit sales are approaching even, now down only 2.2%, reversing the previous month's improvement. 

"Right now, the trends we're seeing in farm equipment, unit sales tracks with trends we're seeing in the overall economy," said Curt Blades, senior vice president, industry sectors and product leadership at the Association of Equipment Manufacturers. "The segments that are still positive, harvesters and row-crop tractors, are high-dollar units. Farmer's don't invest in this kind of equipment unless they feel certain enough future markets will allow them to pay for them."
