numerous ways to save fuel.
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

storage containers tightly

checking tank filters.
Keep equipment tuned
up and in good operating
condition.
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.
