The Irish wheeled loader market recorded a higher number of new registrations in October 2022 at 15 units, compared with October 2021, while the year-to-date market increased by 7.56%.

A spokesperson for the body commented:

“The market dominance of Chinese manufactured machines at the lower price and power end of the market for farmers remains strong for the year to date to the end of October 2022 and now accounts for 57% of the new wheeled loader registrations in Ireland.”

There were 2 imported used wheeled loaders registered in October 2022.

Tractor registrations:

Demand “remains strong” for new tractors on the Irish market, according to the FTMTA (Farm Tractor and Machinery Trade Association).

The body made the remark as it issued its statistics service report for October 2022, which shows the continuing impact of disruptions to global supply chains on the number of agricultural tractors being registered in Ireland.
