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.

Jackie Murray

Very Good. I went to the museum with my father on 3/10/2015. The museum cost is a suggested donation of $3 per person. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and pleasant. If you grew up around tractors you will really enjoy the tour. The actual test lab that they are currently using is right across the way. We were given a tour of that as well. They do most of the track testing in the spring and the fall (because the test can only be run under certain temperature conditions). They were not busy track testing when we went.They were testing the lifting power of a 3-point hitch on a smaller tractor which we were allowed to observe from a safe distance. Great ag history lesson. Helpful people.

HOURS: Only open the 1st Saturday of the month. Found out the hard way, bummer!! Looks sweet though.

John Smith

This was a cool place to see. The staff is very informative about the transformation of tractors over the last century.

Well this is definitely another unique Museum to be added to the list of y'all ain't going to believe there's 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 it's got to be certified and it's 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 it's recognized now worldwide, it's an incredible story. Now I've 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 I'm 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 you're 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. They're pretty proud of that. Anyway I am rambled on enough about this Museum I think I'm 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 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.
