What does 2017 hold for Agricultural Machinery?

Well, 2017 is here and the pundits are busily forecasting this, that and the other – as they always do!

We were, as you might expect, particularly interested in the global forecasts for the sales of tractors. Some reports are estimating a growth in global sales of around 6.6% for tractors specifically and that’s attributable to technological advances in tractor design and their near unique capabilities to operate as ‘jacks of all trades’.

Apparently that demand is likely to be relatively ‘flat’ in the USA and Europe but far stronger in the Asia-Pacific region, which includes Australia.

Of course, forecasts are sometimes notoriously inaccurate.  Many commentators confine themselves to speaking about macro forecasts covering vast areas of the planet, such as Europe, whilst avoiding getting into too much detail for a given country or in our case, individual states.
