Sales in the 40 to under 100 HP segment were up 10 percent over November 2020 and are nearly 12 percent over year-to-date numbers. Sales in the under-40 HP segment were up 6.8 percent over November 2020 and are up nearly 10 percent for the same period last year.
Total 2WD farm tractor sales remain more than 11 percent over year-to-date totals, AEM reports.
