This report concerns the market for agricultural tractors in the UK. The country is still a producer of farm tractors but has suffered from the rationalisation of the European industry with the closures of the Massey Ferguson plant in Coventry and the McCormick plant in Doncaster. The last study on the subject by Off-Highway Research was published in November June 2015.

The findings in this report are based on Off-Highway Research's existing database and on information collected during interviews conducted in the UK with the manufacturers, leading importers and dealers in May and June 2018. The trade association, the Agricultural Engineers Association, or the AEA, publishes, under the terms of an agreement with the European Commission, a limited amount of data on registrations of tractors over 50 horsepower in the UK. It publishes sales by manufacturer, for instance, only once per year and with a delay of 12 months. The report therefore contains the estimates of Off-Highway Research concerning market shares in 2017.
