What Are The Benefits Of Diesel Engines In The Agricultural Sector?

In the agricultural sector, it is crucial to have fuel-efficient, reliable machinery available in order to ensure consistent operational efficiency. Agricultural equipment is used in all weather conditions and the durability offered by diesel engines mean that it is a natural choice for vehicles used in this context. Another benefit in using diesel fuel is the savings offered to the sector in using red diesel. Whilst there were recent changes made to the sectors that can use diesel fuel, the agricultural sector remains unaffected. In addition to reduced maintenance costs through reliable equipment, this reduced fuel cost can lead to significant savings across an agricultural organisation’s full range of equipment.

Reliability

The reliability of diesel engines is one of the main reasons why they are so widely favoured for heavy-usage across a large number of sectors.

Red Diesel

The lower fuel duty available for the agricultural sector in purchasing red diesel offers significant savings. Recent legislation has meant that the construction sector can no longer use red diesel. The agricultural sector is one of the sectors that remains unaffected by these changes and can continue to use red diesel across the full range of agricultural equipment
