If you go back and read the Nebraska tractor tests, you'll see that they rated them one thing at the belt or PTO and another at the drawbar. They aren't the same and never were. A lot of things affect drawbar horsepower besides the engine power. Weight, traction, gearing, groundspeed etc. can all add or subtract from drawbar horsepower.

As I understand it, the Nebraska tests were started to verify or refute overly optimistic horsepower claims by manufacturers.
