Advertising & disclosure

We believe in being upfront about money. Here's exactly how TractoMate is funded, and the line we won't cross.

How we make money

• Display advertising. We show ads through a third-party advertising network. Advertisers pay for the space; they have no say over our reviews, rankings or verdicts.
• Dealer & importer referrals. When we point you to a dealer to buy a machine, or to an importer for a global-market model, we may earn a referral fee. We only refer to suppliers we'd be comfortable using ourselves.
• Retailer affiliate links. On buying guides and our in-depth machine pages we link to online retailers (such as AgriEuro, ManoMano or Leroy Merlin) so you can check a live price. Where such a link is an affiliate link it is marked as one next to the link, and TractoMate earns a small commission if you buy — at no extra cost to you. The retailer never sees or influences what we write, and a machine never ranks higher because a retailer stocks it.

The line we won't cross

Funding never decides our recommendations. We don't rank machines by what pays best, we don't take payment to include or exclude a product, and we'll happily recommend a cheap machine — or tell you to hire instead of buying — when that's the right answer.

Prices and specifications

Specifications come from manufacturer data and dealer listings, with the source recorded; figures we couldn't confirm are marked "pending verification" on the machine's page. Prices are indicative ranges from current listings and change often, so always confirm the figure with the seller before you buy. If you spot something wrong, tell us and we'll fix it.
