The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) and this Association are working together to create a resource for shortline manufacturers to stay on top of safety standards.

New Updates: Find the latest ASABE standards relevant to our members related to braking, tractors and self-propelled equipment, towed implements, tillage, lighting/marking, drawbar jacks, cab enclosures and more.

For information on any of the ASABE standards, contact Scott Cedarquist at (269) 932-7031 or Cedarq@asabe.org. A current lsting of all ASABE standards projects can be found on the ASABE website at .

Part 4, Requirements for Towed Vehicles, will be revised to make clarifications regarding the definition of towed vehicle types, and Part 5, Requirements for the Interface between Towing Vehicle and Towed Vehicles, will be revised to clarify and correct interface testing criteria.

Association consultant and standards expert John Fisher characterizes the work as minor and does not expect members to be affected.
