| Abstract | ||||
| In this study we used moldboard plough with three ploughing depths of (10,15and 20) cm for loading the engine of Anter 80 tractor to study the specific fuel consumption and the fuel consumption per unit area and deter wine the suitable pressure of rear wheels The study used four forward speeds of (0.48, 0.76, 1.20, 1.68) m/sec and three different pressure rear wheel tires (0.75. 1 and 1.5) bar. The results showed that decreased the specific fuel consumption with increased the forward speed .The specific fuel consumption was decreased from (13 to30kg/ha) about17 kg/ha when the forward speed increased from (0.48-1.68 m/sec).The pressure of rear tires of 1bar 1 bar showed lower consumption of fuel and lower fuel in area unit .The specific fuel consumption increased 40%with the increased of ploughing depth from 10 to20 cm. The results found that the fuel consumption for unit area was decreased in by 39% when the forward speed increased from (0.48) to (1.68) m/sec also .The fuel consumption increased with the increasing of ploughing depth. | ||||
