The Agricultural Engineers Association (AEA) has announced that for the first time this year, the number of tractor registrations was higher than the same month the previous year.
April saw 1,152 machines registered, 14.2% higher than in April 2021. The AEA notes that this remains close to the five-year average for the time of year, although the total would probably have been higher were it not for extended lead times caused by supply chain issues.
The total for 2022 is now just 1.6% lower than the same period in 2021, with 4,199 machine now registered.
