According to figures released by the AEA, after two months with large year-on-year movements, likely to have been partly due to Brexit preparations, UK registrations of agricultural tractors (over 50hp) in June were in line with those a year before.
1,174 units were registered which equates to a -1.1% change, compared with June 2018.
Year-to-date, 6,338 units have been registered, which is a -2.9% change, compared with January-June 2018.
Stephen Howarth, agricultural economist for the AEA, said, of the slight fall in June, "This modest decline is in line with the trend over the first half of the year, which saw 3% fewer tractors registered than in January to June 2018.
"Nevertheless, this year's total of 6,338 machines was otherwise the highest for the first half of the year since 2014."
