How to use
- Choose the fuel use method: enter litres per hour directly, or enter tractor HP to estimate it.
- Enter the acres to plough, the hours needed per acre, and the fuel price per litre.
- Optionally add a second fuel price to compare costs side by side.
- Click Calculate Fuel Cost to see the totals and the breakdown.
Notes
- Fuel use varies with soil hardness, plough depth, and tractor load. Use your own measured litres per hour for the most accurate result.
- The HP estimate of 0.2 litres per HP per hour is a rule of thumb for medium load field work.
- The default of 1.2 hours per acre suits a standard single-pass ploughing; change it to match your field.
