The experiment was conducted to measure the efficiency of a locally made electronic device used to measure the fuel consumption of the mechanical unit and compare it with the traditional measurement method. On the other hand, to study the effect of operating factors on some mechanical properties. The experiment included three operating factors, including measurement method (electronic and traditional), forward speed (2.236 and 3.488 km.h-1), and tillage depth (10-15 and 20-25 cm). Field efficiency, fuel consumption, slippage percentage, and draft force were measured. The following results were reached no significant differences in fuel consumption, field efficiency, slippage, and draft force due to the measurement method. The results also demonstrated that the second forward speed (3.49 km.h-1) achieved the minimum amount of fuel consumed was 30.60 L.ha-1, the highest slippage percentage was 7.74%, the highest field efficiency was 60.83%, and the highest draft force was 7.57 kN, compared to the first forward speed (2.24 km.h-1). Additionally, the results indicated that the 10-15 cm tillage depth achieved the lowest fuel consumption at 33.60 L.ha-1, the lowest slippage percentage at 6.53%, the lowest draft force at 6.05 kN, and the highest field efficiency at 61.18%. The correlation coefficient between the measurements of the electronic device and the traditional method was 93.7%. The results confirmed the success of the electronic device in measuring fuel consumption with high efficiency.
