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.
