ABSTRACT
The estimation of tractor fuel consumption during ploughing operation has been consistently receiving attention as a result of diverse nature, varieties and development in prime movers and dynamic response of soil to tillage operation treatment. The need to use selected soilimplement- machine parameters as factors affecting fuel consumption is necessary. Fuel consumption model for estimating tractor fuel consumption per working area for ploughing operation has been developed using Buckingham’s pi theorem.
