TRACTOR REGISTRATIONS SLIGHTLY UP FOR 2018
December's figures down on 2017 though
 
2018 tractor registrations were up 0.6% on the previous year

The AEA have announced that December 2018 saw 849 UK registrations of agricultural tractors (over 50hp), which is a -37.6% change compared with December 2017.

 

For the full year of 2018 though, 12,102 units were registered which equates to a +0.6% change compared with January-December 2017.

 

Stephen Howarth, agricultural economist at the AEA said, "As expected, UK registrations of agricultural tractors in December 2018 were well below their level in the same month a year ago. In December 2017, registrations were inflated by the inclusion of a large number of machines being pre-registered in advance of the entry into force of new regulations.

 

"The December 2018 total of 849 machines was 38% down year-on-year but otherwise was the highest figure for December since 1994.

 

"Of course, December's figure also completes the annual registrations for 2018, which reached 12,102. This was just under 1% higher than the total for 2017 and the largest annual figure in four years.

 

"Once the impact of the December 2017 registrations is adjusted for, this suggests the market actually grew by between 5% and 10% during 2018."
