Operationalisation of tractor fuel consumption economy

Abstract

Fuel consumption in agriculture is on very high level. Even a small percentage of lowering fuel consumption can contribute to more successful management of agricultural enterprises. Reduced fuel consumption will, also be a mean of fossil fuel resources preservation and ecology friendlier agriculture production. There are known methods for reducing fuel consumption abut are not fully used. This paper presents results of using known methods in operationalisation of fuel consumption economy. The results are given for tractors with diesel motors and common fuel supply systems.

Poljoprivreda je veliki potrošač dizel goriva pa bi i malo procentualno smanjenje značilo veliku uštedu. To bi vodilo ka uspešnijem poslovanju poljoprivrednih preduzeća ali još značajnije je da bi se time doprinelo očuvanju ograničenih resursa fosilnih goriva kao i smanjenju zagađenja okoline. Metode za smanjenje potrošnje goriva su uglavnom poznate ali se nedovoljno primenjuju. Zbog toga se u ovom radu kroz plansku primenu poznatih metoda operacionalizuje ekonomičnost potrošnje goriva kod traktora sa dizel motorima koji imaju klasičan sistem snabdevanja gorivom.
