Abstract

In this study, it is examined that the specific measures for energy saving in soil tillage applications. The fuelconsumption can be reduced by 39% for stubble processing, basic and secondary processing and also sowing,if the method is changed from conventional cultivation with a plough to mulching including soil loosening. Bycombining single working operations the number of operations can be reduced. The requirement for energyand therefore also the fuel consumption are fluctuating by about 30% depending on the working intensity. Anincreasing driving speed for reaching a higher power output is definitely responsible for higher fuelconsumption.
