THE KEYS TO COMPARING 4WD TRACTORS. Drawbar horsepower. The most basic criterion is how much can it pull as measured in horsepower at the drawbar This is more impoi tant than engine horsepower because the drawbar is the working end of the tractor Cost per drawbar horse power. This is the real way to measure what you’re getting for the money Just divide the cost by the tested drawbar horsepower and you Ve got a figure you can use to com pare all makes and types of tractors 4 Fuel consumption. How much work can the machine squeezeout of a gallon of diesel fuel 0 While many people gauge fuel efficiency by gal lons per houi this is not the the best measurement The best way amount of work per gallon or moie scientifically horsepower hours/gallon V, Drive train ratio. Divide the drawbar horsepower by en gine horsepower The lesult expressed as a percentage indicates how much power is actually available to do work at the drawbar Weight to horsepower Gen erally speak mg the higher the weight to hoisepower ratio the more power the trac tor wilhultimately deliver You might ask whydoesn t eveiyone build them real heavy o Theans-er the cost of steel But like in everything else you can lind quality if you look for it Noise All manufactuiers have a decibel i ating on their cabs One Steiger four-wheel dj ive has been proven to be as quiet as 75 5 decibels under full power and load That s about as quiet as a pick-up truck A quiet tractor reduces operator fatigue, improves
