The Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory (NTTL) at the University of Nebraska is the official tractor testing station for the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in the United States. This laboratory is responsible for testing a representative tractor of each model sold in the state of Nebraska. It also tests tractors manufactured in the USA and sold in international markets. The Laboratory publishes the results of all tests conducted. The test reports published by NTTL can be extremely useful in the selection of tractors or for comparing the performance of different makes and models of tractors. The proper selection and sizing of a tractor is important to the economic viability and sustainability of farms. This paper shows the use Nebraska Tractor Tests and test reports for that selection. A step-by-step procedure for selecting a farm tractor using published tractor test reports has been developed and demonstrated.
