5.0 out of 5 stars The one book true tractor enthusiasts should not be without., December 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Nebraska Tractor Tests Since 1920 (Crestline Series) (Hardcover)

The Nebraska tests were the one thing that standardized tractor ratings. This book is full of information that can be found in bits and pieces elsewhere,but is complete, from the testing lab to you,in this volume. A must have for the serious tractor hobbiest or professional. Lots of good pictures and info on even some of the rarest of tractors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greg's review of Nebraska Tractor Tests Since 1920, June 11, 2000

This review is from: Nebraska Tractor Tests Since 1920 (Crestline Series) (Hardcover)

Charles H. Wendel's tireless research provides a very compelling volume of information for the farmer, collector, restorer, or enthusiast. Presented chronologically, the volume offers technical data on hundreds of makes and models, ranging from John Deere, International and Minneapolis-Moline, to lesser know and specialty tractors such as David Brown, Bates Steel Mule, and Big Bud.

Each tractor's technical information is accompanied by a photo (in some cases and actual photo of the tractor at the test lab). Data is incorporated directly into the text and the volume is very well edited.

5.0 out of 5 stars An informative and historical book of farm tractor power., April 25, 2002

This review is from: Nebraska Tractor Tests Since 1920 (Crestline Series) (Hardcover)

I have purchased many tractors over the last 25 years and I wish that I would have had this book all the while. The Nebraska tests evolved to provide the farmer with a standard of comparison to gauge his power requirements. Many manufactures prior to these tests boasted claims, but there was no real way to be sure. This book explains the need for this program and gives complete and comprehensive results for 'every' test. I find it a very interesting and informative authority of tractor power and reliability.
