Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical

Agricultural tractors — Test procedures —
Part 3:
Turning and clearance diameters
1 Scope
This part of ISO 789 specifies a method of determining the turning and clearance diameters of wheeled
agricultural tractors.
It applies to wheeled agricultural tractors having at least two axles fitted with pneumatic tyres.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purpose of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
agricultural tractor
self-propelled agricultural vehicle having at least two axles and wheels, or endless tracks, particularly
designed to pull agricultural trailers and to pull, push, carry and operate implements used for
agricultural work (including forestry work), which may be provided with detachable loading platform
Note 1 to entry: The agricultural vehicle has a maximum design speed of not less than 6 km/h and may be
equipped with one or more seats.
[SOURCE: ISO 12934:2013, 3.1]
2.2
track
tread
distance at ground level between two vertical planes passing through the centreline
of ground contact of the tires parallel to the median plane of the tractor with the wheels in the straight
ahead position
Note 1 to entry: In the case of dual wheels, it is the distance at ground level between two planes passing through
the centreline of the dual wheels.
Note 2 to entry: See Figure 1.
Figure 1 — Track (tread) of the wheeled tractor
2.3
wheelbase
horizontal distance between the two vertical planes passing through the rotational centrelines of the
wheels, where one plane is for the front wheels and the other for the rear wheels
Note 1 to entry: In the case of a tractor equipped with a rear tandem, it is the distance between two vertical
planes passing through the centres of the front wheel and the vertical plane midway between the wheel centres
of the two axles of the tandem.
Note 2 to entry: See Figure 2.

2.4
turning diameter
diameter of the circular path described by the centre of tire contact with the surface of the test site of
the wheel describing the largest circle when the tractor is executing its sharpest practicable turn under
the test conditions described in Clause 5
Note 1 to entry: See Figure 3.
2.5
clearance diameter
diameter of the smallest circle which will enclose the outermost points of projection of the tractor and
its equipment while executing its sharpest practicable turn
Note 1 to entry: See Figure 3.
Figure 3 — Tractor turning configurations

3 Apparatus
3.1 Tape measure, of length greater than the turning and clearance diameters to be measured, having
a tolerance within ± 0,5 %.
3.2 Plumb-line, if required, for measuring clearance diameters.
3.3 GPS equipment for alternate test, corrected GPS having a measurement accuracy sufficient to
produce a linear measurement tolerance of ± 0,5 %.
4 General requirements
4.1 Test area
The test area shall be a compacted or paved dry surface affording good tire adhesion, capable of
displaying legible markings, and resistant to defacement by turning machines. The test surface shall be
visually flat, with no more than 3 % grade in any direction.
In selecting the test area used for GPS measurement, take into consideration the effects of obstructions
(e.g. tall buildings, trees, etc.) on GPS accuracy.
4.2 Tractor test requirements
4.2.1 Tire and wheel equipment
The tractor to be tested shall be in its operating state, and the attachments with which it is equipped
and their positions shall be noted.
The tire, wheel and fender equipment shall be that commonly used in the country for which the tractor
is intended, i.e. as specified by the manufacturer, and shall be stated in the test report. Generally, dual
wheeled tractors or tractors with added ballast should not be tested unless it is the only specification
presented by the manufacturer. Tire pressures, tractor ballast and use of duals on front or rear shall
be recorded in the test report. If steering and/or axle oscillation stops and fenders are part of standard
equipment, then these shall be positioned according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
4.2.2 Track (tread) setting
A track (tread) setting of 1 500 mm ± 25 mm shall be used. If this is not possible, the nearest setting
specified by the manufacturer shall be used. Additional measurement may be made at other track
settings specified by the manufacturer. Front and rear track settings shall be as nearly as possible the
same and shall be recorded.
4.2.3 Other settings
4.2.3.1 Tractors which have all wheels steerable, or which incorporate devices for disconnecting either
or both axles, shall be tested in each operating condition in which the tractor is intended to be used.
Results shall be recorded for each operating condition.
4.2.3.2 Tractors which have more than one powered axle, and which have devices for disconnecting
the power to any of the axles, shall be tested in each operating condition in which the tractor is
intended to be used.
Results shall be recorded for each operating condition.
5 Procedure
5.1 Right-hand turn, without brakes
5.1.1 Direct measurement
5.1.1.1 Drive the tractor slowly forward while making its sharpest possible right-hand turn, that is,
with the steering kept on full right-hand lock, at a speed not exceeding 2 km/h for at least one complete
turn, until it is established that the minimum turning circle is being described.
5.1.1.2 Continue to drive the tractor slow
