Please settle an argument on sales numbers

( I guess I should correct myself. I did not mean tractors BUILT in the states, only SOLD in the States. )

The entire NA market for tractors < 100 HP in 2005 was right at 218,000 units. That is what AEM reported. The breakdown by company is not accesible in the ag industry like it is the automotive. All anyone can do is speculate about one competitor to another.

Branson and Montana have not been reporting sales #'s because they were not members last year. They may have chosen to be members in 2006. Just because these companies do not report doesn't mean that they didn't happen. Also member companies are forbidden from publicly releasing the sales figures. For sure the figures are broken down even to each zip code.

I knew Jinma was doing well, but I'm surprised to hear that they are bigger than MF, Kioti, and Mahindra. Guess my buddy isn't the only one with his numbers out to lunch. I obviously have some learning to do as well.

Be careful what you take as actual facts. The numbers quoted in this string of messages are not accurate. Jinma is not selling more than MF or Mahindra here in the states.

Neil
Zetor was close to 600 BUT, keep in mind all of those were 67-107hp. None of them were compacts. There are a whole lot less utility tractors sold then compacts.
Happy Tractoring

Chipperman,
There were 75,781 40-100 HP tractors sold last year. 2005 Tractor Sales
There were 127,240 compacts sold. Good feeder calf prices have pushed the utility tractor sales. Take Mahindra 90+% of their sales are in the 40-70 HP category.

This is from an article just posted under the Montana forum. I had heard these numbers and believe them to be correct but I was not willing to put them out until someone else did and since it was the CEO of Montana then I suppose I am fine with posting the numbers now.

( Montana's Miller says he is optimistic the market will rebound and that Montana can increase its market share, which was 3.7 percent in 2005......... Montana sold some 3,300 tractors for revenue of $65 million through a network of 275 dealers. Miller says the company turned a profit, but he wouldn't disclose specifics.

The goal for 2006 is to reach $128 million on sales of 6,200 tractors and grow the dealer network to 400.)

Here is a link to that Article with sales numbers for Montana Tractors

The sales numbers are on page 2 of this article and is easy to miss if you don't see the second page.

Thanks,
Maka

( Who are the top 15 or so manufacturers of 0 to 100 hp tractors in retail sales for America ) 

What about Tonka? They comprise the 0 HP tractors.
