State-of-the-art testing technology for reliable results

High-precision, future-oriented testing technology is at the heart of each test conducted at the Test Center Technology and Farm Inputs. Our test benches are some of the most modern of their kind and are designed for maximum requirements in agricultural machinery, farm input testing and product development. 

No matter whether tractors, implements or farm inputs are being tested, our specially developed test benches enable practical, reproducible tests under realistic conditions. Digital measurement technology, automated test processes and intelligent data evaluation ensure maximum meaningfulness and objectivity. Thanks to continuous further development and investment in new technologies, we ensure high testing quality and establish the technical basis for meaningful test marks, sound recommendations and reliable innovations.

Test benches (selection)

DLG chassis dynamometer: Reproducible driving  

The DLG chassis dynamometer for measuring the performance and consumption of agricultural machinery and commercial vehicles combines the highest standards of functionality, flexibility and precision and is characterised by its extremely high-end measurement technology. Driving conditions that are difficult to reproduce in road or off-road driving tests can be set and repeated with high precision on the test bench. The option of controlling the temperature enables vehicles to be tested under different temperature scenarios.
