Belgian tractor market rebounds slightly

After a good start to the year, the tractor market had suddenly turned around this summer, falling 8.4% in July compared to the previous year, 20.3% in August and as much as 40% in September. At the time, the finger was pointed at the driver shortage and the stricter posting rules coming up. However, economic growth seems to have been decisive in October. 520 tractors were registered, or almost 15% more than in October 2016. The cumulative total remains negative though, with a fall of 2.75%, according to figures from Febiac and the FPS Mobility.
