The machinery stock, fuel consumption and work time are crucial economic factors for the profit potential in the arable farming sector. The influence of five soil tillage systems (two conventional tillage systems and three conservation tillage systems) and two tractor sizes (92 kW-tractor and 59 kW-tractor) on work time, fuel and energy consumption was measured in the semi-arid region in Austria. The tractors were equipped with a high-performance flow meter and a radar sensor to measure the fuel consumption (L h-1) and working speed (km h-1). The conventional tillage with mouldboard plough has the highest working time and fuel consumption rate. The replacement of plough with a cultivator, reduces the work time and fuel consumption for soil tillage as... |
