Considering a tractor producing 227.5 hp at the drawbar, if the drive train efficiency is 86% and the engine efficiency is only 33.5%, what is the necessary engine power required to pull the planter and seed tender at the higher speed? What is the required fuel power? Assume diesel fuel is used and has an energy content of 140,000 Btu/gal, how many gallons of fuel is necessary to operate the tractor for 1 hour? (Neglect wheel slip for this problem)
