Industry-leading economic firm ITR Economics provides heavy-duty equipment market trends to help OEMs stay up to date on top industry information and insights, which can help them make better decisions in 2024.

In our continued analysis, the latest data reveals Annual U.S. Farm Machinery Shipments ticked up in March 2024.

Although they were 11.8% below the year-ago level, April marks the fifth consecutive month of improvement. Shipments are recovering, though elevated interest rates and agriculture commodity prices below year-ago levels remain downsides.

The following provides a summary of key observations across 13 indicators and areas of industry that contribute to today’s global economic conditions.

US Leading Indicator

• The monthly rate-of-change for the U.S. OECD Leading Indicator climbed higher in April.

• The Indicator signals increasing upward pressure on the macroeconomy later this year; however, monetary policy remains a downside.

• U.S. Industrial Production in the three months through April was at about the same level as one year ago.

• There is divergence within the industrial sector, partly due to government spending. Hightech sectors are benefiting the most from this spending, whereas U.S. Machinery Production is in recession.

• U.S. Private Nonresidential Construction in the three months through March was 13.1% higher than the year-ago level. The quarterly trend is experiencing its normal seasonal decline. The annual trend is in a slowing growth trend.

• The U.S. Institutional Sector Architecture Billings Index portends downward pressure on Construction in the quarters ahead.

• U.S. Total Public Construction in the 12 months through March totaled $454.3 billion, 18.3% above the year-ago level.

• The quarterly growth rate has moved lower for two months. This is a potential signal of slowing growth ahead but may be normal volatility. As infrastructure funding is used up, slowing growth is more likely.

US Farm Machinery Production

• Annual U.S. Farm Machinery Shipments ticked up in March but were 11.8% below the year-ago level.

• Shipments are recovering, though elevated interest rates and agriculture commodity prices below year-ago levels remain downsides.

Europe Ag & Forestry Machinery Production

• Annual Europe Agricultural and Forestry Machinery Production in March was 7.8% below the year-ago level.

• Potential interest rate cuts in the EU could provide some relief for high-cost capital expenditures like agricultural and forestry machinery, though rate policy remains uncertain.

Europe Leading Indicator

• Following a year-long rising trend, the monthly rate-of-change has been oscillating around its current value since late 2023.

• EU Industrial Production is in recession. The Four Big European Nations Leading Indicator and the Markit Economics’ Europe Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index signal the pace of decline for EU Industrial Production could begin to ease in the coming months. Tight monetary policy remains a downside pressure.

US HeavyDuty Truck Production

• Annual U.S. Heavy-Duty Truck Production ticked down in April, coming in 3.4% above the year-ago level.

• Annual Production decline is likely given elevated interest rates and a general plateau for industrial activity and business-to-business spending.

US Mining Production Germany Industrial Production

• Annual U.S. Mining Production through April was 2.1% above the year-ago level.

• The oil and gas component of Production is in a pronounced rising trend on an annual basis, while mining excluding oil and gas is below the year-ago level.

• Germany Industrial Production in the three months through March was 7.1% below the year-ago level.

• While China, a major trade partner for Germany, continues to face macroeconomic headwinds in its property sector, the U.S.’s relatively resilient economy may benefit Germany as a trade partner in the coming quarters as its consumers are on relatively stable footing.

US Construction Machinery, New Orders

• Annual U.S. Construction Machinery New Orders ticked down in March but were 10.6% above the year-ago level.

• Pricing has contributed to New Orders rise but will contribute less in the coming quarters, as inflation is easing. Annual U.S. Construction Machinery Production, a measure of activity, is declining and 3.2% below the year-ago level.

US Mining & Oil Field Machinery Production Index US Defense Industry, New Orders

• U.S. Mining and Oil Field Machinery Production in the 12 months through April was 2.0% below the year-ago level.

• Slowing growth in the macroeconomy and high interest rates signal further decline. Oil prices are above breakeven, and some metals prices have been rising. This suggests that decline in Production will be mild.

• U.S. Defense Capital Goods New Orders in the 12 months through March totaled $162.7 billion, down from the previous month, but 4.2% above the year-ago level.

• Recently passed foreign aid is an upside for New Orders.

 48-Volt DC/DC Converter (Eaton)

This DC/DC converter takes power from a 48volt system and steps it down to 12 volts to run accessories and other low-power systems. This design helps essential equipment — including antilock brakes and power steering — work even in the case of a power failure, making it unique among product offerings in this space. There is a growing demand for 48-volt DC/DC converters as off-highway and commercial vehicle manufacturers increasingly switch to dual-voltage electrical architectures. Eaton’s converters feature a natural convection, air-cooled design for ease of integration and can operate at ambient temperatures up to 85 degrees Celsius. Additionally, the converters are designed with high efficiency to prevent power loss over a wide operating range. The converters are also designed to reduce weight and save space. Most modern vehicles operate on 12- or 24-volts, so moving up to 48-volts results in up to four times the voltage, which decreases the electrical current by the same ratio. Because wire size is chosen based on the amount of electrical current, decreasing the current allows for the use of smaller wires, which reduces weight and helps alleviate packaging concerns. The DC/DC converter portfolio provides flexibility through multiple power and voltage levels and can be optimized to work with a manufacturer’s charging system specifications. It also features a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus, which allows direct communication from the DC/DC converter to other vehicle electronic control units to transmit diagnostic information.

 Hello, OSHA? Stroud demonstrated the superior balance of its graders by gathering 1,600 pounds worth of employees on the carrier. In operation, it would never have to bear that much weight. The grader also shows Stroud’s placement of the engine, opposite the carrier. (Stroud Road Machinery Company Bulletin 338, HCEA Archives)

BALANCE & DRAFT for Elevating Graders

The factors affecting Stroud’s design, including weight capacity, frame flexibility & conveyor efficiency

Let’s conclude our look at how Stroud Road Machinery Company of Omaha, Nebraska, trained its salesmen to promote its elevating graders in 1930 and 1931.

Balance

Stroud determined that an engine grader was best balanced by placing the engine on the left front end, diagonally opposite the conveyor. Stroud periodically demonstrated the balance of one its engine graders by positioning a group of employees on the conveyor with about 1,600 pounds on the end of the conveyor, several times the weight of material it would actually carry, the rear wheel on the opposite side lifted slightly.

Competitors’ frames, being more rigid, tended to lift a wheel under load, and digging capability could be compromised. The Adams elevating grader often required a man to ride the plow beam to keep the plow in the ground, and another besides the operator to work the carrier raise. Cat used a telescoping rear axle to balance the grader under load, which Stroud saw as compromising the axle’s strength.

Draft

Conventional wisdom had it that a lighter elevating grader was easier to pull. But other principles came into play as well: Machine weight; frame flexibility; conveyor efficiency; and wheel design.

A tractor-drawn elevating grader’s weight tended to fall on the back axle when pulled by a tractor, and reduced rolling resistance on that axle eased pulling. More weight and a lack of rigidity in the frame helped keep all four wheels on the ground, resulting in better digging.

The conveyor’s efficiency also contributed to how easily the grader could be pulled.

A heavier side sill, such as Stroud used, kept the belt running true by reducing resistance. Stroud also used roller bearings as standard equipment on the top and bottom rollers and offered them as options on the idler rollers as well. The smoother the conveyor ran, the less rolling resistance there was, since material tended to move better and not bog the grader down; and on an unpowered grader, less load was placed on the rear wheels that drove the conveyor.

Lugs or flanges on the wheels kept the grader from sliding. Stroud found that lugs impeded draft less than flanges such as Caterpillar used.
