Following the announcement that registrations from January to June reached 5,955 units, up 22.3% compared to the year before, the Agricultural Engineers Association (AEA) has provided a breakdown by power and region.
Only the smallest and largest machines saw year-on-year declines. Units between 51-100hp dropped 6.7% from 489 to 456, while tractors over 320hp dropped 13.1% from 176 to 153.
All other power bands saw significant growth, with the most notable being between 241-320hp. 606 units were registered in this bracket, an increase of 60.7%, which the AEA suggests indicates a move to smaller tractors from some high-horsepower customers.
Overall, it says that the power bands have averaged out, meaning the average horsepower remains around 173hp.
The picture across the regions was similar, with only two areas recording falls. These were the South East, which fell 5.4% to 387 machines, and the East Midlands, where four fewer machines were registered year-on-year. A drop of 1.5%.
The fastest growth was in Northern Ireland, which jumped 57.1% to 443 machines, and has already exceeded 90% of the total for 2025. The West Midlands was close behind, increasing 57% to 402 units.
