This AM I was comparing some current and former family tractor's Nebraska test results using Tractordata.com. I understand the meanings of the different ratings, how the tests were conducted and their relationship to actual use.
Allis B pto 22, drawbar 20 Farmall Cub pto 10, drawbar 10 Farmall Super A pto 16, drawbar 13 Ford 8N pto 23, drawbar 22 Ford 601 engine 48, pto 32, drawbar 30 JD 850 pto 22, drawbar 18 JD 755 engine 20, pto 15
I'm wondering: Was the JD 755 not tested? If not, why? It's newer and smaller and perhaps not considered a Farm Tractor? As the only hydro and the only 4X4 in the bunch I'm curious how it's test results do or would compare.
Now for a few impressions. I'm surprised the Super A tested so close to the Cub. I found the Super A with added 3pt to be a wonderful, strong, competent tractor every bit as good as the 8N so many people around here love. I'm truly sorry I sold it. Of the lot nothing beat the 601 in brute power. IMHO beyond cuteness and cultivating the cub was worthless and a PITA to switch equipment--heck the Super A was a better cultivator too. The 850 has been a nice refined field tractor. My biggest complaint is the 3pt is so, shall I say crowded, it's hard to hook up. Sadly I haven't had enough time with the B as it's in pieces. I'm looking forward to spending some time with the 755 which clearly has a great advantage in maneuverability, direction, and speed control to anything I've used to date. The 3pt is also well exposed and looks like it might be easy to connect.

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Your Tractor - by Staff. Maybe you bought it from a friend who didn't know what kind of tractor it was, or perhaps (and this is every tractor fanatics dream) you stumbled across it in an abandoned field covered with weeds but intact. In any case, you have no idea what the make and/or model is. For awhile perhaps it doesn't really matter. Especially if it runs! But pretty soon you'll probably need to tinker with it a bit and maybe buy a part or too. Having a manual is nice. But how does one go about dete
