December 16, 2023International 1/4 Scale Tractor Student Design Competition
Offered by American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers
The International 1/4 Scale Tractor Student Design Competition challenges students to design a 1/4 scale tractor that harnesses the power and torque of a specified stock engine in order to maximize performance during a series of challenges. Design fundamentals such as strength of materials, statics, and power transfer will be major factors as the students design their frame, drive train, hitch, clutch, weight brackets, and other parts. Teams of students are given a 31-hp Briggs & Stratton engine and a set of Titan tires. All team members must have been enrolled during at least one academic term of the design contest school year and have a National ASABE Student Membership. Teams also submit a written design report, and at the competition, they must “sell” their design in a formal presentation to industry experts playing the role of a corporate management team. Machines are put to the test in performance events: three tractor pulls, a maneuverability course, and a durability course.
