Minneapolis-Moline Horsepower & Performance

How much power did each Minneapolis-Moline tractor really make? This chart ranks the lineup — Twin City and Minneapolis predecessors through the late G-series — by horsepower, using University of Nebraska Tractor Test results (the gold-standard, independently measured figures) where they exist, and manufacturer-advertised ratings otherwise. “Nebraska tested” rows are primary-source and public domain.

65 Minneapolis-Moline (and predecessor) tractors ranked by power. 37 carry tested figures from their Nebraska Tractor Test (primary source); the rest show the manufacturer's advertised rating via TractorData. Belt/PTO horsepower is engine output; drawbar is pulling power. Click any model for its full cited specifications.
