UK Tractor Registrations dip slightly in June

This Month :                1,156 Units         -2.6% change (compared with June 2018)

Year to Date:      6,320 Units        -3.2% change (compared with January-June 2018)

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 more in line with those a year before.

At 1,156, the number of machines registered was about 3% lower than in June 2018. This modest decline is in line with the trend over the first half of the year, which also saw 3% fewer tractors registered than in January to June 2018.

Nevertheless, this year’s total of 6,320 machines was otherwise the highest for the first half of the year since 2014.
