Allan: Over the years I studied Nebrasks tests quite thouroughly. Don't ask me to quote you figures at this time in life as it hasn't mattered a hooraw to me in the past 15 years. There were some vast differences in the percentage of flywheel horse power making it to PTO shaft or to the wheels. Some tractors just do a whole lot better than others. If I recall correctly 56 series Farmalls stand out on efficiency. I think the Farmall 350 was also a stand out, on efficiency.

Two tractors that stand out on my farm were Farmalls 560 diesel and 656 diesel Both with the 282 diesel, truly the most efficient HP I ever owned. You probably already know I also farmed with a 300 and a 1066, but neither measure up to the old 282's when it comes to efficiency and longeviety. I think Nebraska told us that in advance.
