However, it fell to second place when the combined efforts of the CNH Industrial brands New Holland and Case IH amounted to 4,037 units (28.7%).
NH sold 2,682 and Case IH sold 1,355 units respectively, in a market of 14,071 new tractors registered.
As always, EU anti-competition legislation restrictions mean these figures are only published after 12 months have elapsed.
In third place, AGCO recorded 3,087 tractor registrations, for a 21.9% share of the total market, made up of 1,530 Massey Ferguson units (10.9%), followed by Fendt at 911 units (6.5%) and Valtra finishing on 646 tractors (4.6%).
Kubota was placed fourth on 947 units (6.7%), with rival Claas delivering 557 tractors and a 4.0% share of the market.
Elsewhere in the Tractor Top 10, JCB hit 261 or 1.85%, Same Deutz Fahr hit 257 (1.82%) and Italian manufacturer Agri Argo saw McCormick achieve 131 units (0.9%) and Landini 69 tractors (0.5%). Other brands made up 1,167 (8.3%) of the total.
