Abstract

This paper presents a study regarding fuel consumption, distance traveled and aggregate operation time during agrotechnical harrowing operation with and without a navigation system in the company. The measurement was carried out on an area of 32.41 ha, which was divided into two equal parts (16.205 ha). The researched area was divided into two equal parts using SMS Advance Software. The tractor-machine aggregate consisted of a Claas Axion 830 tractor as the driving part and a harrow as the working part of it. Fuel consumption was monitored via the tractor's display and the volumetric method. A significant difference in fuel consumption was determined for the volumetric method with navigation (9.97%) and without navigation (6.45%). Higher fuel costs were determined when the unit was operated without a navigation system.
