As is the tradition every year, we show the data of the sales of new
machinery in Spain during 2020, these data are extracted from the information
published by the Ministry of Agriculture (the information is published monthly
here). It is a summary of most interesting data in our opinion. We emphasise
that the figures are not as bad as we expected after such a tragic year.
The number of new tractors sold has decreased to 10,676 (in 2019 it was
12,156). This figure remains at around the 10,000 new tractors sold annually
which is usually the reference figure for many manufacturers, so it is within
the expected pattern and can therefore be said to be a good year as far as new
tractor sales are concerned.
New tractor sales by brand continue to be led by
John Deere (2,429 units in
2020, 2,972 units in 2019 and 2,866 units in 2018) and
New Holland (1,403
units in 2020, 2,021 units in 2019 and 2,059 units in 2018). John Deere
retains sales leadership by commercial this year. In terms of new tractor
sales by brand, we would like to highlight the increases of
Deutz-Fahr and
Fendt. Next you can see in the graph the sales by brand:
On the other hand, another interesting fact is the best-selling brand in
terms of average power where Fendt continues to lead the market for another
year with 188 hp/tractor (178 hp/tractor in 2019 and 176 hp/tractor in
2018). You can find more information in the following tables:
The best-selling tractor was the John Deere 6115MC. It is the best-selling
tractor one more year again. We assume that this is the last one because it is
discontinued and replaced by
the new 6M Series.
Regarding new farming machinery sales in 2019, we would like to show a chart
where you can see monthly sales. You have data about tractors, trailers,
tillage machinery, seed drills, mowers or harvesting machinery, etc. We
would like to mention that a total amount of 32,204 new machines were sold
in 2019 (35,430 units in 2019, 41,249 units in 2018 and 37,667 units in
2017) which implies a significant drop from the previous year for almost all
types of machinery. A curious fact that we would like to comment it is the
sale of seed drills, which had a strong increase in sales in the month of
June (415) thanks to the Plan Renove.
We highlight the following data about new farming machinery sales:
-
New trailers sales: 3,834 units in 2020, 3,506 units in 2019 and 5,961
units in 2018.
- Regarding trailed or mounted machinery:
-
Soil tillage machinery: 2,914 units in 2020, 2,990 units in 2019 and
3,850 units in 2018
-
Seed drills machinery: 932 units in 2020, 971 units in 2019 and 936
units in 2018.
-
Crop protection machinery: 6,234 units in 2020, 7,158 units in 2019
and 8,571 units in 2018.
-
Spreaders and felitizing machinery: 2,254 units in 2020, 2,175 units
in 2019 and 3,471 units in 2018.
-
Harvesters’ machinery: 2,174 units in 2020, 2,020 units in 2019 and
2,706 units in 2018.
Apart from that, we have to give special mention to the new combine
harvesters sold in Spain which in 2020 was 216 units compared to 201 units
in 2019 and 285 units in 2018, being the leader
Claas again. This sector is
completely monopolized by Claas (83 units), New Holland (69 units) and John
Deere (46 units). It is also worth noting that the other manufacturers,
which years ago seemed to have a strong market share, so they are becoming
increasingly diluted each year, with sales figures that are practically
symbolic. Deutz-Fahr (6 units),
Massey Ferguson (6 units), Fendt (3 units)
and
CaseIH (3 units).
We want to give a especial mention about sales of self-propelled grape
harvesters, which this year are up on previous years as 111 new units have been
sold (107 units in 2019, 100 units in 2018 and 80 units in 2017). Once again,
New Holland leads the market with 65% of sales. We can conclude that the market
has been stable for several years with around 100 new units sold. We think that
this is a good amount so we think the wine and olive sectors are sectors with
great potential.

Finally, we show you a few pictures of our friends Esteban and “Los Mudis”,
who with the purchase of their
Massey Ferguson 5713S and
Deutz-Fahr 6215 Agrotron contributed to increasing annual sales of new tractors in 2020. Enjoy
them with many working hours!!
