Fastrac ad blue use

[deere150]

Wondering how much ad blue others are using, my 4220 has used 210 litres to do 284 hrs. A good mix of work not just heavy work, average fuel consumption us 12litres hr

What hp is that? seems a lot of ad blue, i managed 500 hrs to one of those blue drums which i think is 200 l

About 0.5ltr per hour here, but it’s working hard most of the time (40+ ltrs /hr diesel) Uses noticeably more ad blue on lighter work though so yours is probably about right.

0.73 Litre per hour or about 6.1% of diesel consumption..
Sounds about right to me.

 

[Cowabunga]

Yes, about right. I would expect around 5% of fuel consumed, so the difference is not much. A bit on the heavy side I grant you. Hopefully it saves at least as much diesel as it consumes of Adblue compared to tier 3 engines.

I know it’s a different engine but my Fendt uses considerably less adblu on light work.

That is what I would expect. I don’t understand why an engine under lighter load would use more than when running under much heavier load.

It’s what I expected also. Previous tier 3b tractor was the same
