Tractor Horsepower Distribution: Today vs the 1980s

Comparing models introduced since 2010 with those of the 1975–1990 era shows the market stretching at both ends: sub-50 HP compacts remain a huge segment, while the 200+ HP classes — marginal in the 1980s — are now a substantial share of new introductions.
