The most-financed equipment in the Northeast U.S. for 1Q 2019: Sales by state, brand, machine type | Dump Truck Company
Most popular machine in terms of units sold in the Northeast Region: Kubota SVL75-2 compact track loader.
Financed new equipment sales in the Northeast Region of the U.S. dropped by 9 percent during the first quarter of 2019, compared with the same period last year, according to an analysis of UCC-1 filings as reported by EDA. The number of new units financed went from 3,154 in 2018 to 2,896 in 2019 during the first quarter.
States showing the largest declines in the number of new machines financed were Rhode Island (down 40 percent) and New Hampshire, (down 24 percent) compared with the first quarter of 2018. Maine, however, saw a 12 percent increase in new financed machine counts and Pennsylvania remained flat. (For a state-by-state review, go to the State Breakdowns section.)
The U.S. Census Bureau defines the Northeast Region as Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

In part because of their lower initial cost, compact machines tend to dominate in terms of unit sales. Compact track loaders (CTLs) and compact excavators were the most popular machines sold in the region, almost tying for first and second place: 734 CTLs were sold in the region (25.3 percent of total machines), compared to 731 compact excavators (25.2 percent). Skid steer loaders, at 372, or 13 percent of total machines, came in a distant third. (We compiled this data on May 20th; EDA continually updates this data.)

About the source
EDA, a division of Equipment World’s parent firm Randall-Reilly, tracks UCC-1 filings used by lenders when a machine is financed.
Depending on the type of machine, financed machines can represent 40 to 75 percent of the total number of machines of that type sold in the United States. While machines can also be bought by cash or letter of credit, which are not tracked by EDA, buyers of higher priced charlotte nc dump trucks (for example, a large excavator) tend to use financing. EDA continually updates its data.
