CEMA considers only 165,200 of these vehicles as agricultural tractors.

An overview of the total tractor registrations in each country, including an indication of the registration rates that can be classified as farm tractors in the appendix to the bulletin.
Agricultural tractor registrations decreased by 8.7% compared to 2021, the best year for European tractor registrations in the last decade. After 2021, the annual total for 2022 was the highest since 2017, when registrations peaked before legislative changes in early 2018. While the number of tractors registered on a monthly basis is lower than a year ago, it is close to or above the average of the previous three years.
