Who are the Top 10 CUT Manufacturers?
It’s hard to tell from online marketing information who is driving the compact utility tractor (CUT) market. It seems that Japan, Korea and China may be the home countries for the CUT’s we call Deere, AGCO, CNH and so on. With the exception of New Holland’s Dublin, GA plant it looks like the CUT market is dominated by overseas manufacturers.
Based on TractorPoints listing of manufacturers (Deere, Kubota and New Holland) and other brands (Belarus, Hinomoto, Kioti, Mitsubishi, Shibaura, Yanmar, Long, MF, Ventrac and Cub Cadet); are these the top manufacturers? Does anyone know of a site on the internet that tracks CUT sales in the US?
There are several manufacturers that claim to be leading the market. Who is really manufacturing and selling the most CUT’s to the North American market? TractorPoint might be the logical place to track this info for its readers.

Who are the Top 10 CUT Manufacturers?
Thanks for your thoughts. I did find a site for the Association of Equipment Manufacturers that did list tractors by horsepower: below 40hp, 40-100hp, and above 100hp. They present statistics for 2001, 2002 and projections for 2003. During 2002, the 39 manufacturers reporting claimed to have produced about 170,000 tractors, of which 95,000 were in the below 40hp category (about the size of a CUT, and subCUT/SCUT?). Many of the international manufacturers were not included in the pole. The site is at AEM dot org slash Trends slash IndusOut slash PDF slash soi-0207 dot pdf.
Based on the very informal inputs from this forum it looks like Kubota may have sold about 30,000 CUTs, Yanmar(Deere) 15,000 CUTs, Shibaura(NH) 15,000 CUTs, Daedong(Kioti) 12,000 CUTs, Mitsubishi(Case & Cub Cadet) 8,000 CUTs, Iseki & Hinomoto(MF) 7,000 CUTs, and Mahindra/Daedong(Mahindra) 5,000 CUTs, Long 5,000 CUT’s, and Belarus 3,000 CUTs, for a total of about 100,000 units. Then you toss in the Gray Market, the Chinese box tractors and other smaller importers, which may have sold 15-25,000 more CUTs & SCUTs. Whew!! Gives international tractors a whole new meaning!
Let’s keep looking for the real numbers. I just looked at the Deere 2002 annual report online, no unit numbers, just $ profit and loss.
