In farming these can range from how you operate your equipment to what you put on the crop as well as the way you apply it. Tractor operation is a major factor in fuel con sumption, and several im portant guidelines to im proving efficiency are readily available from your farm supplier, of the most important tips on saving tractor fuel are; Operate your tractor at full loads at rated engine speeds (full throttle). When not carrying full loads, decrease speed and shift into a higher gear. Avoid lugging or overloading the engine. If the engine lugs down in speed when you start shifting up, shift into a lower gear. When moving- over the road or traveling between fields, open the throttle. Slower speeds do not save fuel and extend operating time. —Avoid fuel spillage when SOMEOFOUR DISTRIBUTOR \ * u L JJ j_'. U. aaa ioa ling tanks.

Application: switch to weed and feed combinations where practical. Tractors are easily rigged up to till soil, apply herbicide and insecticide, and liquid fer tilizers for an all-in-one operation. “Weed and feed” not only saves fuel by combining two or three trips over the field, but valuable time and labor at the busiest time of the year. According to Stauffer Chemical Company, good weed control can save you fuel, too. Get the weeds early in a preplant feed-and-weed operation. Incorporating the herbicide into the soil, along with the fertilizer, offers better assuamce of effective weed control, the company says. This, in effect, minimizes the chances of a weed breakthrough and the need for a second cleanup or salvage treatment later on.
