Used Heavy Equipment Price Dataset Data: Dataset Structure and Field Coverage

Static delivery caps what the file can prove. The year column describes each machine's model year between 1990 and 2020, not when the listing was captured, and no capture-date field exists anywhere in the eight columns - so one file yields a price distribution, not a time series. Prototyping a hedonic valuation or teaching regression works fine; extending a resale-value index into 2026 does not. Two neighboring Kaggle records in the slice cover adjacent tasks without fixing this. Kaggle - Pakistan Trucks Sales is a genuinely monthly series but counts units sold - 273 observations from January 2001 to September 2023 under commercial delivery terms - not prices, and documents no upstream provenance. The Kaggle - Excavator (JCB) Image Dataset serves computer vision with 3,000+ crowdsourced photographs from 200+ locations captured 2020-2022. For genuine price history the honest routes are repeated marketplace crawls collected forward, or RB Global's realized-price archive, which sits behind bidder-account terms.
