Drawbar pull capability

[Atypical_decorum]

Has anyone hooked up a pull gauge to their drawbar to find out the actual pull?


A TBN owned pull scale sent out to trusted people and tested in a standardized way would make a pretty neat spreadsheet on here for future generations.

IMO, probably the most important measure of power.

The Nebraska Tractor Tests have drawbar pull information for some heavier tractors.

Messicks has proprietary data for some compact tractors.

I always compare drawbar power when making tractor buying decisions.

tractordata.com lists the drawbar pull on some of the older tractors, especially crawlers.

Sometimes rated in HP.

Hard to standardize the dirt in different places. But if the same model tractor was tested in many places and soil types, that would be really good information.

Farm tractors, too. Here’s my Magnum.

Another good measure of power is in the “tests” section of Tractor Data is “Max Pull”.

$141k... puts some of our whining about pickup truck pricing in perspective!

Agreed to both points. A description of dirt could accompany each measurement.

What is it you are looking to pull?

Pulling a plow at 1 mph is different than wanting to pull the same plow at 10 mph.
