In Canada

For Canada, April monthly tractor and combine sales were positive across all segments, with the 4WD segment nearly doubling, up 93.3% to 201 units sold, while total farm tractor sales were up 72.3% to 3,671 units sold.  Self-propelled combines also grew 23.1%.

“April was the month we were watching to see how this growth trend would look once it hit the official twelve-month mark,” said Curt Blades, senior vice president of ag services at the Association of Equipment Manufacturers.  “Seeing the larger row-crop units leading the way in segment gains shows the pull rising commodity prices have been having on equipment sales.”
