Jim: A tractor parked away from any down drafts will take roughly 10% of what a rain gauge collects. We argued this one many times years ago back home. Finally put a device in the stack to catch all the water going down the stack.
I believe there are two factors at work here, fist being few rain gauges are 6' - 9' off the ground, secondly wind hitting the tractor creates an up draft causing much of water to blow right over the tractor. So many people park their tractor in the shelter of a building or a tree, that will put water down a stack probably twice the rain fall. Another bad one is the rain cap blown open by wind, deflecting water right down the stack. The very worst is an exhaust pipe or manifold leak, those catch much of the rain that hits the hood.
