Tractor importers and distributors have a healthy 2018 report card from the Tractor and Machinery Association (TAMA).

Sales of tractors and farm machinery hit a new record in 2018 and there are no signs of a slow down.

The world's tractor market looked healthy in 2017, with 2.1 million sales – up about 13% on the 2016 total of 1.9 million units.

Tractor sales are holding despite the dairy downturn, says NZ Tractor and Machinery Association president Mark Hamilton-Manns.

The New Zealand tractor market remains affected by the depressed dairy economy: overall sales are down about 14% on the same period last year.
