You\u2019ll get more work accomplished with each tank of fuel. You\u2019ll purchase fuel less often. You\u2019ll decrease the emissions required for each job. Saving time, dollars, and emissions is a pretty good deal.<\/p>\n<p>But how do you improve farm vehicle fuel efficiency? It\u2019s easier than you think. Here are 10 ways to improve farm vehicle fuel efficiency.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Keep Air Filters Clean<\/h2>\n<p>A dirty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/guide-to-tractor-filters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">air filter<\/a> reduces fuel efficiency, causing the engine to consume more fuel than it would otherwise. Regularly cleaning and\/or replacing air filters (check the vehicle\u2019s manual for guidance) is an important regular maintenance task.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Replace Spark Plugs<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike some engine parts, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/how-to-replace-spark-plugs-on-a-tractor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spark plugs<\/a> in a gasoline engine don\u2019t require regular attention. But they can wear out over time, which harms fuel economy. If your engine runs rough or has trouble starting, try replacing the spark plugs and see if you get a performance boost.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_120062\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-120062\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-120062\" src=\"https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/how-to-replace-spark-plugs-400-x-400-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"replacing spark plug on tractor to increase fuel efficiency\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/how-to-replace-spark-plugs-400-x-400-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/how-to-replace-spark-plugs-400-x-400-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/how-to-replace-spark-plugs-400-x-400-360x360.jpg 360w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/lh0Vqwvq-how-to-replace-spark-plugs-400-x-400-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/how-to-replace-spark-plugs-400-x-400-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/how-to-replace-spark-plugs-400-x-400-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/lh0Vqwvq-how-to-replace-spark-plugs-400-x-400-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/how-to-replace-spark-plugs-400-x-400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-120062\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Keeler Johnson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>3. Regularly Change Engine Oil<\/h2>\n<p>Be sure to follow the recommended schedule for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/7-items-need-oil-change\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">engine oil changes<\/a>. Regularly refreshing the engine oil (and changing the oil filter) can improve fuel economy.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_79603\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-79603\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-79603\" src=\"https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/DJ-OC-40-300x173.jpg\" alt=\"changing tractor oil to improve fuel efficiency\" width=\"300\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/DJ-OC-40-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/DJ-OC-40-623x360.jpg 623w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/DJ-OC-40-600x250.jpg 600w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/DJ-OC-40-433x250.jpg 433w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/DJ-OC-40.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-79603\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Daniel Johnson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>4. Opt for Diesel Engines<\/h2>\n<p>All else being equal, diesel engines have better fuel economy than gasoline engines. There\u2019s also more energy in a gallon of diesel than a gallon of gas. If you\u2019ll be putting a lot of miles on a particular vehicle (perhaps your workhorse tractor or a farm truck), opting for a vehicle with a diesel engine can be a sound strategy.<\/p>\n<h2>5. If Using Gas, Aim for Electronic Fuel Injection<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re considering a vehicle with a gas engine, get one with electronic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/benefits-of-electronic-fuel-injection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fuel injection<\/a> if possible. Electronic fuel injection offers a wealth of benefits, including improved fuel economy.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Keep Tires Properly Inflated<\/h2>\n<p>Care should be taken to ensure vehicle tires are inflated to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/avoid-tire-trouble-keep-the-psi-in-range\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">correct PSI<\/a> (pound-force per square inch). Underinflated tires reduce fuel economy. Check tire PSI regularly, particularly as winter approaches and temperatures decrease\u2014the shift in temperature can cause a drop in tire PSI.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Opt for Radial Tires<\/h2>\n<p>Old-fashioned bias tires might be tough, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/tractor-talk-tires-ballast-fuel-stabilizers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">radial tires<\/a> are the king when it comes to traction, especially if you opt for increased flexion (IF) or very high flexion (VF) radials. IF tires can carry the same load as regular radial tires with 20% lower air pressure, VF tires can carry the same load at 40 percent lower air pressure. The decreased PSI allows more of the tire\u2019s tread to contact the ground, improving traction and fuel economy.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Go with Four-Wheel Drive Vehicles<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking of traction, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/do-you-need-a-2wd-or-4wd-tractor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">four-wheel drive<\/a> decreases wheel slippage compared to two-wheel drive when performing hard farm work and negotiating challenging terrain. The result? When the going gets tough, a four-wheel drive tractor or UTV will get better fuel economy than one with two-wheel drive.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_113987\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-113987\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-113987\" src=\"https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/DJ-SEPT-21-194-300x173.jpg\" alt=\"tractor wheel\" width=\"300\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/DJ-SEPT-21-194-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/DJ-SEPT-21-194-623x360.jpg 623w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/DJ-SEPT-21-194-600x250.jpg 600w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/DJ-SEPT-21-194-433x250.jpg 433w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/SqMFzgNP-DJ-SEPT-21-194-156x90.jpg 156w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/DJ-SEPT-21-194.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-113987\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Daniel Johnson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>9. Run Engines On Low Throttle When Possible<\/h2>\n<p>An engine doesn\u2019t have to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/running-tractors-full-throttle-take-advice-tortoise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">run at full throttle<\/a> all the time. If you\u2019re simply driving from one spot on the farm to another, or towing a lightweight trailer that doesn\u2019t require full power, pull back on the throttle and save some fuel.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Shut Off Engines When Not In Use<\/h2>\n<p>Related to tip nine, go ahead and shut off your engine if you\u2019re pausing work for a meaningful length of time. If you\u2019re doing cleanup and stop to fill your trailer with a \u201csmall\u201d load of branches or grass rakings, reconsider leaving the engine idling. Those small loads can take longer than you think to pick up, and all the while you\u2019re consuming fuel.<\/p>\n<p>By using a combination of these 10 tips, you can meaningfully improve fuel economy and reap the benefits.<\/p>\n<p>This article about farm vehicle fuel efficiency was written for Hobby Farms magazine. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/subscribe-new\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to subscribe.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By using a combination of these 10 tips, you can meaningfully improve fuel economy and reap the benefits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":211,"featured_media":134962,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10458],"tags":[12175,12251],"class_list":["post-103046","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-farm-garden","tag-farm-tractor","tag-fuel-efficiency"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.0 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Fuel Efficiency: 10 Ways to Improve Farm Vehicle Economy - Hobby Farms<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Improving fuel efficiency for farm vehicles like tractors and ATVs is a smart move.
