ABSTRACT A low-cost, versatile data acquisition system for tractor performance variables was developed utilizing an AIM 65 microcomputer. The system measures drawbar pull and power, ground speed, wheel slip, fuel flow and engine speed and provides for printing these variables as well as recording on magnetic tape
