I am a city boy by nature, but seeing all these tractors all in one place, made me wish I grew up in Nebraska and got to have my own acreage and plant some serious vegetables for me and my family

Well this is definitely another unique Museum to be added to the list of yall aint going to believe theres a museum to do this list. This Museum Chronicles what has happened over the last 100 years with tractors being tested so that one can determine if the claims of the manufacturer and the performance of the tractor are equal. It turns out that Nebraska took this so seriously that in order to sell a tractor in Nebraska its got to be certified and its performance of its duties. I was lucky enough to come during the time when there was no crowd of students only the staff at the Museum. The lady who was the executive director had a script that was memorized that told stories of the tractors and the history of the testing and why it became important and how its recognized now worldwide, its an incredible story.

Now Ive looked at a lot of tractors because the town just north of me where I live has tractor parade every year with lots of really old tractors some back to 1897. But that is a different area this is about testing tractors seeing how they pull seeing how much load they can take seeing how much power they put out on their power take offs and a whole bunch of other stories that would make this review go on for pages. I must say it was an impressive display of tractors and an incredible display of information. My door was broken into two pieces the second piece took me to their Laboratory where are the major tractor device that the tested tractor pull against and it was another impressively huge device. I think Im not going to be able to describe this as well as the leader of the tour but what I will do is tell you just a little bit that I can remember and if youre interested in those odd little funny museums this is one to put on your list for sure. Now additionally there were some very interesting quarter scale tractors that were built by the students to compete in the tractor competitions around the country. Oh yes and Nebraska was first place last year. Theyre pretty proud of that. Anyway I am rambled on enough about this Museum I think Im going to have to go collect my thoughts and post the pictures at some time later because my brain was full by the time they got done

This is a small, but very well curated facility. Lots of great tractors, art, toys and other tools and implements. I went to the museum with my husband on 8/25/2015. The museum cost is a suggested donation of $5 per person. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and pleasant. We were given a tour of the actual test lab that they are currently using, right across the way.of that as well. Great ag history lesson. Helpful people.

This is a real hidden gem if you like mechanical stuff! About 40 tractors, as well as information about the history of tractor testing and a gallery of carburators! There is visitor parking at the museum as well.
