Tractor Brands Market Share

These statistics are for overall sales of all tractors. When you break down the tractor categories, a different story appears. JD is the #1 seller in the 100+ HP tractor segment, Kubota is the #1 seller in the < 100 HP tractor segment.

Where did you find the information that Kubota is #1 under 100 HP? I see where they were in under 40 HP in 2019 in the North American market but not since then.

That is what the local Kubota dealer has posted in the building. It looks like it is a corporate poster.

"These numbers are guarded and not released to the public."

Why?

"These numbers are money for all the market."

Please explain.

They think that they are the only ones that know how to view them and use the data. Where to put the advertising into, etc. They also use it to know how much they can push the prices up.

More important are sales and service outlets located everywhere COMPACT tractors are in demand.

Equally important is "0%" financing for COMPACT tractors and implements purchased together.


LS, TYM and Kioti produce "private label" tractors for other tractor brands. They do private labels because they have been unable to fill a national distribution network with their primary brand. The private labels expand LS, TYM and Kioti unit volume although under other's brand.

LS, Kioti, TYM and combined perhaps enjoy 10% of the compact tractor market, including private labels. These regional tractor brands are handicapped by only having compact tractors in the USA product line. It takes a talented capitalist to keep the doors open at a regional brand, selling only compact tractors, during tough times in the compact tractor market, which can dry up during recessions like 2008-2009.

In the USA, where rooting for the underdog is part of our culture, calling attention to any one brand as being #1 in any category may decrease potential unit sales. Calling attention to any one brand as being #1 in any category may induce a distracting Federal Trade Commission anti-trust investigation, especially with Senator Grassley of Iowa the influential politician he is.

You are constantly making these "matter of fact" statements.

This one, this one here, How. Do. You. Know?

If you are going to claim a "number" or "statistic", then quote the direct source you gained that information from.

Else wise, stop posting things like this.

Unless you start by saying, "I've made this number completely up in my own head". Then by all means, post away.

I do not think the underdog theory works when people are shopping for anything. American people are by and large more concerned for themselves than others. At least it is headed more in that direction. Being #1 in the market place is something most companies would love to be able to claim. Mahindra sure has done that for years.

Car manufacturers claim #1 all the time. Best selling truck in it's class and so forth.

Someone is definitely #1 in every market and I am pretty sure the Federal Trade Commission is fully aware of those numbers.

I do appreciate the use of the word perhaps as we do not know if 10% or 2% is correct for the brands mentioned.

It definitely is not a stretch to come to the conclusion that nobody has 50% of the market in any category. I actually think, and this is a opinion, John Deere Holds the #1 spot in the category of under 40HP now. It is logical to come to that conclusion as Kubota has stoped claiming that position as far as I can find.

They are still claiming it from what I am seeing: Tractors - Compact - Standard L01 Series | Kubota

Yes, but if you click on the box that says the L01 series is the #1 selling compact tractor it says disclaimer according to the EDA from 2009 to 2019. I am certain that is true. But I do not think that is the case since 2019.

You are exactly right, good observation on this K5.

I think , if anything, people tend to root for the underdog if, and only if, they do not have a horse in that hunt (yes, I deliberately mixed metaphors).

In my experience, most Americans like to attach themselves to a winner. That is why there are so many Yankee fans or better, there are more Packers fans than residents of Wisconsin. I would guess that the majority who are onto tractors have a brand. Some of those cannot fathom another brand being better in any way. To that end, they make excuses and parse words like a Viking fan trying to justify years of futility.
