Abstract
This Study was conducted to evaluate Fuel consumption per unit area during Tillage operation in loamy sandy soil with 6% moisture content, using four Tillage equipments types (Disc of three bodies plow, Mouldboard of three bodies plow, Mouldboard tow bodies plow and Disc harrow) , with different three forward speed (1.8 , 3.95 , 5.58 km/h) and the plowing depth was (15cm) . Turkish maid tractor was used to carry out the experiments.
Results showed that was high significant differences (1%) in consumption per unit area among Tillage equipments types and forward speed with Tillage equipments types, the fourth type of Tillage equipments types (Disc harrow a4) showed the lowest fuel consumption (8.325 L/ha),and the fourth Tillage equipments types using the third forward speed (a4v3) showed lowest fuel consumption (7.363 L/ha) ,the highest was to the second speed using first type plow (22.727 L/ha).
There was no significant affected for forward speed factor on fuel consumption per unit area.
This experiment was designed according to the RCBD with three replicate and two factors (Four types of Tillage equipments and three forward speeds).
