Matching Tractors And Implements, I W. Grevis-James
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Tractor and implement matching involves balancing implement load characteristics with tractor output characteristics to obtain the best output from the combination. Too much or too little can be costly.

Getting The Best From Tractor Tyres, J Quealy
Getting The Best From Tractor Tyres, J Quealy
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The amount of pull a tractor develops depends largely on tyre efficiency and so with so many tyre size options for the one tractor model it is very easy to make the wrong decision on tyre fitment.
Tyre efficiency varies with tractor weight, soil conditions, inflation pressure and tyre size.
Hers we look at some of these factors and how changing them may affect efficiency.

How Many Acres Per Hour?, J G. Drever
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
MANY farm tractor operators don't know exactly how much land is covered in an hour by implements drawn by their tractors. This information, useful on any farm where tractors are used, is of particular value in contract work.
The capacity of the machine or implement, or in other words, its rate of working, depends on the width of the machine, how fast it travels, how efficiently it is operated and the time it works.

Tractor Testing In Australia. Part 2, G H. Vasey, W. F. Baillie
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
AUSTRALIAN test procedures, though differing: in some details, and in some ways going further and telling more about the tractor, conform in essentials to overseas standards.
The tests are in four main parts—
(a) the physical properties of the tractor;
(b) the power of the engine, and its stationary outlets—the belt and the p.t.o;
(c) the power on the drawbar when working on a formalised test surface or track;
(d) the reliability of the tractor when running under test, and its condition after the test.

Australian Spark Arrester Tests. Test No. Spa-5 : Caterpillar 3b-2655, W. F. Baillie, G. H. Vasey
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
FORMAL tests on spark arresters are conducted by The Tractor Testing Committee* at the Testing Station, Werribee, on behalf of those companies concerned with tractors, engines or spark arresters who wish to have these equipments tested.
The arrester is tested on the engine for which it is specially designed or if this is not convenient (as in this instance) it is tested on an engine having the characteristics and power for which the spark arrester is intended.

AUSTRALIA is one of several countries that have set up "official" tractor testing schemes.
These schemes mean testing stations that, while providing a testing service for both the manufacturing industry and the consumer, in effect mainly the farming industries, are independent of either.
