Terminal Tractors are specialized heavy duty vehicles designed to move loads at container ports and container terminals. Generally, they are slow moving (under 30km/h) and employ a high torque diesel engine and 4×4 wheel drive which enables them to move very heavy trailer loads, sometimes up to 200 or 300 tons
460 units is the estimate by Power Systems Research of the number of agricultural harvesters to be produced in the U.S. during 2022.
This information comes from industry interviews and from two proprietary databases maintained by Power Systems Research: EnginLink™ , which provides information on engines, and OE Link™, a database of equipment manufacturers.
Market Share: With 48.5% of total units produced, Deere leads in production of Harvesters in the U.S. In second position is Oxbo International’s combined plant totals of 24%; third, is Flory with 10.5%.
Exports: Collectively, up to 1% worldwide.
Trends: In 2021, production of Harvesters in NA increased 13%. Production is expected to gain another 3% in 2022. The Ag industry has fluctuated in recent years and demand for new products declined a few years ago due to falling commodity prices. Farmers couldn’t afford new equipment and spent years refurbishing existing units.
Currently, it appears that growers are moving from hand to machine harvesting. They are increasingly using over-the-row mechanical harvesters to pick produce and like commodities. Especially during COVID times, this type of machinery reduces the need for manual labor during labor shortages. The increase in harvester production is also attributed to the desire for new machinery that increases productivity and profitability.
Expect production to fluctuate over the next 3-5 years with an increase of 5% by 2025. PSR

3,800 units is the estimate by Power Systems Research of the number of Terminal Tractors to be produced in North America (United States) in 2022. Terminal Tractors are specialized heavy duty vehicles designed to move loads at container ports and container terminals. Generally, they are slow moving (under 30km/h) and employ a high torque diesel engine and 4×4 wheel drive which enables them to move very heavy trailer loads, sometimes up to 200 or 300 tons. PSR
The Tokyo Motor Show was a major event that attracted 2 million people from the 1980s to the 1990s, but in recent years the number of visitors has decreased and the last exhibition in 2017 drew only 770,000 attendees.
Tractor/Loader/Backhoes are full-size machines that are three pieces of construction equipment combined into one: the tractor, the loader and the backhoe. These units are designed to tackle an array of construction and agricultural related activities.
709,700 units is the estimate by Power Systems Research of the number of Lawn & Garden Tractors to be produced in the United States during 2022.
This information comes from industry interviews and from two proprietary databases maintained by Power Systems Research: EnginLink™ , which provides information on engines, and OE Link™, a database of equipment manufacturers.
Market Share: With 39% of total units produced, Husqvarna leads in production of Lawn & Garden Tractors in North America. In second position, with combined plant totals, is MTD with 33.5%; third, also with combined plant totals, is Deere & Co. with 23.5%.
Trends: In 2021 production of Lawn & Garden Tractors in North America (US) increased 4.5% over 2020 to 683,250 units. Production in 2022 is expected to reach 709,700 units, a gain of 4.5%, compared to 2021. The forecasted gain is driven by the demand for new fuel-efficient models in the market along with the demand for new equipment.
Production has been slowed somewhat by the temporary lull in production of the Craftsman line, the saturation of new products in the market, and the unfavorable mowing conditions caused by the wet spring.
The latest models offer a variety of features for homebuyers based on yard size. Entry-level lawn riders are suited for 1.5 acres or less and usually have 1-cylider engines. Mid-grade riders have twin cylinder engines with high HP’s that work well in large cutting areas.
Production is expected increase up to 5% by 2025; lifespan of this product has about a 10-year turnover. PSR
