Method
- A listing is a machine extracted from a for-sale post, not the post itself: one post offering three loaders counts as three machines.
- Brands and models are normalised from what the seller wrote, in Arabic or English. Anything unrecognised stays out of the brand charts rather than being guessed at.
- Model years come only from ads that state one; condition is counted from the words sellers use, not from an inspection.
- Distinct ads are found by matching the same seller writing the same text, so a reposted machine is counted once.
