* Type of work: Plowing uses significantly more fuel than transporting a light load. Idling consumes fuel too.
* Engine efficiency: Older tractors are generally less fuel-efficient than newer models.
* Engine load: The harder the tractor works, the more fuel it uses. A 100 hp tractor running at only 50 hp will use less fuel than one running at its full capacity.
* Condition of the tractor: Proper maintenance (like clean air filters) improves fuel efficiency.
* Transmission type: Different transmissions have varying efficiencies.
You might see fuel consumption figures ranging from 3 to 10 liters per hour (or roughly 0.8 to 2.6 gallons per hour) for a 100 hp tractor, but this is a very broad range. The actual consumption will vary greatly depending on the factors listed above. To get a more precise estimate, you'd need to consult the owner's manual for the *specific* tractor model.
