Official evaluations of agricultural tractors, conducted at the University of NebraskaLincoln, provide standardized data on machine performance. These evaluations measure various aspects of tractor functionality, including horsepower, fuel efficiency, drawbar pull, and hydraulic system performance, under consistent and controlled conditions. A publicly available report detailing the findings is generated for each tested model.
These standardized evaluations offer invaluable, unbiased information for prospective tractor purchasers. The data allows for objective comparisons between different models, enabling informed decisions based on specific operational needs and budget constraints. This testing program, established in 1919, has a long history of serving the agricultural community and contributing to advancements in tractor technology and efficiency.
