Buying a used tractor or baler means taking the seller's word on its maintenance and safety history.
Used cars have history reports. Farm machinery has nothing like it. This business is a platform that pulls together maker recall notices, known weak points by model and year, and, where sellers share them, service records. A buyer can check a specific make and model before handing over real money at a private sale. You charge per report, or sell a subscription to dealers and buyers who shop often. The first job is to confirm the data exists and can be gathered, because farm equipment records are far less organised than car records.

Used farm machinery sells in large numbers through private sales, auctions and small dealers. The sums are big and the buyer often knows little about that machine's past. A trustworthy report, even a partial one, could save a costly mistake and be well worth a fee.
Small and mid sized farmers buying second hand, hobby farmers buying their first tractor, and equipment dealers who buy to resell. They inspect what they can, ask around and still end up trusting the seller.
A fee per report for one off buyers, and a monthly subscription for dealers who check machines regularly. You could also sell reports to auction houses to include with listings.
There is no well known history report for farm machines. Owner forums have the knowledge but it is scattered. You put recall data and known problems into one clear report for a specific machine.
Tractor history reports make sense for someone who knows farm machinery and enjoys digging through data, so give it a try if the data holds up. Skip it if you want fast income or dislike talking with farmers face to face.
