Tractors in the Netherlands and Europe

Tractors in the Netherlands and Europe in 2022 and 2023

In 2023, there were 210,880 tractors registered throughout Europe, according to figures from national industry organizations. CEMA, our European partner organization to which we report, states that 157,051 of these vehicles are agricultural tractors.

Of these, 26,420 tractors have 37 kW (50 pk) or less, and 130,811 have 38 kW or more. The remainder consists of a variety of vehicles that are sometimes classified as tractors, including ATVs, side-by-side utility vehicles, telehandlers, and a few other types of equipment.

See an overview of the total number of agricultural tractor registrations by country at the bottom of this post.

Registrations of agricultural tractors were 5.3% lower than in 2022, but were only slightly below the average number registered over the past five years. The number of registered machines in the first half of the year was only slightly lower than in the same period the previous year, but the decline was more pronounced in the second half of the year. Between July and December 2023, nearly 10% fewer tractors were registered than in the corresponding period of 2022. The market slowdown also caused registrations in the second half of the year to fall 7% below the seasonal average.
