I am seeking the volume of farm tractors sold in each state.This is my first need but not counting those under the 40HP bracket.
I wish to obtain the stats for those tractors that are sold in each state where the PTO HP is 5O-99hp categories.
The statistics I have been using have been from those 27-28 states that sell at least 1000 per annum in all categories.
These stats then help us to locate where the sales are that sell 50-99 pto categories and then we have collected them in to the 28 states that sell 500 or more Tractors per annum in the category of 50-99HP.
For example,9000 tractors are sold in to Texas [circa]per annum and 3200 in the 50-99ptohp category.In South Carolina about 1000 sales of tractors is a regular volume but in the category we wish to focus on there are 600 circa sales but in Kentucky there are 3500 tractor sales p.a. but in the category we are focusing on there are 2100 sales [50-99HP].
Our analyses so far are being used to locate regions of the USA with big potential markets can be found which neighbour each other in clusters…..due to the size of the USA and its very different ag-farmers markets.
Your help would be appreciated TQ GRAHAM
