    October saw 865 tractors registered in the UK, according to the Agricultural Engineers Association (AEA). This was 16% higher than the same month in 2025, and 4% above the seasonal average.

    It brings total registrations for 2026 up to 9,182 units, 17.3% above the same period last year.

    The AEA notes that the total for 2026 will likely be close to the bottom end of the average, although it could mark the start of a recovery.
