He could reduce his speed by 10 or 15 m.p.h. on the self propelled units, thus using less gas. 3. Make sure tires are properly inflated for field and highway operation. 4. Make as few trips as possible with a partial load, thus conserving energy 5. On self-propelled units, make sure that the engine is OTHER SYSTEMS INCLUDE BINS & PEED AUGERING.
