Press Release - Year Ends Strongly for Tractor Deliveries

The December 2025 year ended strongly with new tractor deliveries ahead of last year by 10%.

December tractor deliveries at 3088 units continues to reflect the positive primary sector outlook that has quietly been building over the last three to four months. The December year end result represents a strong 10% lift on last year. This reflects the building confidence of TAMA members and their farmer and contractor clients that the continued strong performance of dairy, and the continued strengthening of beef and lamb pricing is providing a more solid fiscal base that is flowing through the tractor and machinery sector into firm sales and forward order commitments. That aligned to the strong grass growth being experienced this summer in the key regions, all means it all feels a lot more positive than was the case 12 months ago.

🌱 MEDIA RELEASE: Spring Sees Green Shoots of Growth for Grass and Tractors 🚜

📄 Read the full media release by Jaiden Drought, TAMA President.

Much like the abundance of early failed New Year's resolutions, 2024 will go down as a year most machinery manufacturers and dealers would like to forget. However, signs of agricultural prosperity are signalling a much brighter and more prosperous 2025.
