Registrations of 50 horsepower and over tractors in the UK were up by almost six percent in the first half of 2023 compared to 2022 says Profi. Details of the 6,777 machines put into service revealed some interesting trends, including impressive growth in the over 160 horsepower segment and a decline in smaller tractor registrations.
