“the march tractor and combine report is a mixed bag, with an overall decline in tractor sales due to softness in the small tractor market,” said curt blades, senior vice president, industry sectors and product leadership at the 卡塔尔vs塞内加尔竞猜 . “at the same time, the segments that are still showing growth are the higher-dollar segments of four-wheel-drive tractors and combine harvesters, indicating commodity markets for ag products are still strong enough for larger operations to justify the investment.”
