Facts about Fuels • Diesel tractors will consume about 73% as much fuel as a gasoline engine (ASAE Standard) • LP gas tractors will consume about 120% as much fuel as a gasoline engine (ASAE Standard)
Summary • With new technologies, the producible hp is growing at an incredible rate. • This allows more hp at lower engine rpm, which reduces fuel consumption • Due to increasing engine and transmission efficiencies, overall field efficiency can be increased
Advancements • New precision techniques; • Electronic Fuel Injection • GPS • AccuDepth • These advancements allow for better overall field efficiency, along with numerous cost savings to the producer.
