New tractors top 1,800 registrations
Michael Moroney machinery editor
The latest figures from the FTMTA Registration Service shows that 1,800 new tractors were registered in the Republic of Ireland between January and the end of October this year. The figures show that 77 new tractors were registered in October, an increase from the October 2012 figure of 69.

What is more interesting is the number of used tractors registered for the first time at over 820. These ranged from 1950s Porsche Standard to Ferguson 20s and Fordson Dexta.
This high number of used tractor registrations is a carryover from the September ‘vehicle off the road’ issue as thousands of tractors were brought into the annual road tax net. An equally interesting figure is for the number of used combine harvesters registered in October for the first time, which stood at 75 machines. Included in this group were two Dronningborg models and plenty of early Clayson combines.
