Muhammad,
Does that site break it down to different tractor manufacturers like Deere, Kubota, AGCO, etc. just curious on if effected companies making large ag tractors the same as companies more focused on CUT size.

Not surprised. Older machines go on forever, an older population is selling their inventory, newer machines appear to be to complicated and too 'electronic', plus population of potential new users/owners would probably prefer a better phone instead of doing 'peon' work. Some can't afford 'affordable housing' ! Many now get their food from a delivery service no matter what the cost.

I have no data on numbers or who buys what but I’m guessing the typical homeowner machines like the typical TBN person owns is a very small piece of the pie. I think the big money is in ag. That market isn’t going away and if sales are down people are getting by with what they have.
OP
AEM I believe reports MFG numbers but it's self-reported and we don't have access to that. This is a snapshot, I don't know exactly the size of the dealerships but I'm guessing they are mostly in the compact and utility market based on the sales dollar volume reported.

That's where my thoughts were going; I would hope things are just stabilizing.
