Revenue is a BoringCashCow estimate ($46,000/mo), not disclosed by the owner, so sourced=EST and verified=false. It is a display-ad estimate, likely traffic-derived from about 1.2M monthly visits; treat as order-of-magnitude, not a booked figure. First-party facts confirmed on tractordata.com: 18,310 models catalogued (homepage), used daily by 30,000 people (About page), run solo by owner Peter Easterlund, a family business in Prior Lake, MN for 25 years (entity: TractorData LLC, per Contact page and USPTO trademark). No first-party revenue figure exists. We never score you.
