5 most popular tractor brands in 2022

In Australia, tractors and excavators are the most viewed categories on farms and construction websites by a proverbial country mile, which is no surprise as they are the mainstays of local primary production and manufacturing. Without them the economy would be running on empty.

It’s been another strong year for tractor sales, with the local market tipped to finish on another new high, with the under 40hp and over 200hp categories the categories most in the black.

Let’s check out the most viewed tractor makes on farmmachinerysales.com.au for 2022 – and no surprises that two behemoths of the industry are leading the way.

This year, the 6M Series of utility tractors were the most viewed from the John Deere stable, followed by the 7230R, 8360R and 6230.
