Reduce fuel consumption

Why saving fuel is important

Tractor fuel consumption is one of the biggest cost factors in agriculture – accounting for up to 20% of total costs. However, saving not only has economic benefits: Efficient use of the tractor also makes ecological sense.

Tyre pressure and tyre selection

Optimum tyre pressure reduces rolling resistance and saves fuel. Adjust the pressure to the ground conditions and regularly check whether your tyres are suitable for the intended use. Wide low-pressure tyres can save fuel in the long term despite higher purchase costs.

Regular maintenance pays off

A clean air filter and fresh oil ensure that the engine runs efficiently. You consume less fuel and extend the lifetime of your tractor.

Efficient driving – here's how

Avoid unnecessary acceleration and drive at low engine speeds. Shift into higher gears early and switch off the tractor when it's not needed – as fuel is also consumed when idling.

Use weight and trailer correctly

Avoid unnecessary loads and ensure a balanced weight distribution. The trailer should also not be overloaded to minimise rolling resistance. Use the Eco PTO mode to save diesel at lower engine speeds.

Utilising technology

GPS systems, tyre pressure regulation systems and cruise control systems help you to work more efficiently and reduce fuel consumption.

Adjusting the air-conditioning system correctly

Only use the air-conditioning system when necessary and make sure that the temperature difference between the inside and outside is no more than 6°C. This will save you fuel and keep you healthy.

Summary: Small actions, big effect

You can significantly reduce the fuel consumption of your tractor by carrying out maintenance regularly, driving efficiently and systematically using modern technology. This not only saves money, but also protects the environment.
