In operating a machine-tractor park on a modern farm, the most significant expense is that of fuel. Modern agriculture, as a way of doing business, is unthinkable without the use of modern machinery. In many cases even funny. In the technical specification of power machines, only the specific fuel consumption is specified. This is because the manufacturer of these machines is unable to know the specific operating characteristics of the machines he produces. In practice, there are different options for determining fuel consumption, but for the most part, these options are incorrect, unacceptable or inapplicable. The article deals with the variant of the application of GPS signal from a satellite to determining the speed of the machine and the time for crawling the specific field. In this way, its known formulas determine its slipping. After determining the machine's slipping, the fuel consumption can be determined accurately enough with the introduction of a corrective slipping factor.
