U.S. Used Tractors 100 Horsepower and Greater
- Inventory levels in this market fell 1.42% month over month and 4.17% year over year in July, continuing a downward trend. The used 100- to 174-HP tractor category had the largest inventory level decreases, down 4.13% M/M and 13.07% YOY.
- Asking values in this market continued a six-month-long downward trend, dropping 1.37% M/M and 6.28% YOY in July. Used 100- to 174-HP tractors led other categories in M/M asking price decreases with a 2.36% drop, while the used 300-plus-HP tractor category led in YOY decreases, falling 6.03%.

U.S. Used Combines
- Used combine harvester inventory levels dropped 2.29% M/M and 7.21% YOY in July and are trending down.
- Asking prices in this market rose 0.93% M/M and 1.98% YOY in July. Both asking and auction values are trending up but depreciating YOY for individual assets.

These data points, combined with rising MSRP values for recently added John Deere and Case IH combines, have caused asking and auction values to appear inflated compared to previous years. For example, a 2022 John Deere S780 posted YOY asking and auction value decreases of 13.9% and 11.7%, respectively.
