  Maintain your tractor. A badly maintained tractor wastes upto 25% of precious fuel.
 

Stop diesel leaks.One drop per second can cost 600 litres per year.

 

Turn your engine off when you stop. An idling tractor wastes more than 1 litre of diesel every hour.

 

Always drive in the correct gear. Wrong gear selection can increase the fuel consumption by 30%, and reduce field output by 50%.

 

A tractor that smokes excessively wastes precious diesel. Oversized implements or using the wrong gear causes tractor to smoke.

 

Dirt is an engine's worst enemy. Good air filtration avoids wear of cylinder bores and the piston rings. Good fuel filtration is also very important. Quality fuel filters should be used and replaced as recommended.

 

Adding water ballasts and or cast iron weights minimises tractor from slipping. The ballasts should not be used on off-field operations.

 

Worn out tyres reduce pulling power.Tyre pressure should be as per recommendation in the manual. The V-threads should point downwards when viewed from the front.

 

Right implement size and tractor operating speed are important to meet the engine's full horsepower. This reduces smoke and save diesel.

 

Planning the field run is important as it reduces idle running, back tracking and awkward turns.

  Tractor should be operated at that throttle setting which gives the recommended speed for either the PTO or a belt drive. Tachometer in the engine shows the correct engine speed.
