dc.description.abstractGeneral relationships capable of predicting tractor diesel fuel consumption are very useful for budget and management purposes but may not have the ability to compare fuel consumption for several potential engine configurations, such as turbocharging and air densification components. The objective of this factsheet is to examine several methods that use field measurements and Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory results to estimate fuel consumption. Using these equations, farmers can estimate and compare the fuel savings for different operating and loading conditions.en
