Take it away Nick.


Foist, the question might be "how many horsepower-HOURS" of energy?"

And how much force times 176 miles?

Yes. That is the question required for a starting point...

And I dunno the answer.

I do know that the bigger tractors have 450+ horses available. We need a
farmer to give us (more like you ) some actual fuel consumption
figures.

I saw a show on discovery channel about the worlds largest tractors.IIRC
they used about 1 gallon per acre for one pass plowing.
