Abstract
SUMMARY : Machine tests are standardized procedures that aim to present reliable and impartial information of the evaluated machines. The agricultural tractor is the main source of power in the agricultural setting. Therefore, toacquire an in-depthknowledge of the operationaland performancecharacteristics of these machines, a tractor test is necessary as this will help inachieving higher yields in the field. Performance of testsof tractors and agricultural machinery is usually the responsibility of the manufacturers, official government agencies,and research institutions. New machines and technologies are being developed; therefore, information on the current status of tractor testing and the procedures and advances in the methodologiesused for the evaluation of machines is fundamental in today's agriculture 4.0. This review aims to examine the current state of agricultural tractor testing worldwide,with special focus on that in Brazil. Agriculture 4.0, or intelligent agriculture, incorporates new and advanced resources, such as computers, sensors, and actuators, which are used inoperational performance and efficiency testing, thus contributing to the modernization of technology and improvement of machines. New methods of performance assessment and data collection are under consideration and shouldbe established through clear and specific standards.
