Month :                                500 Units            -13.8% change (compared with January 2021)

The slowdown in UK tractor registrations which was apparent in the second half of 2021 continued into the New Year.

Numbers continue to be supressed by widespread disruptions to global supply chains, which are leading to delays in supplying tractors (and other types of machinery) to customers.

At 500 machines, the number of agricultural tractors registered during the month was 14% below the same month last year. That was actually the lowest January figure for more than 20 years, although this is always a relatively quiet time of year for tractor registrations.
