With the objective of evaluating the exploitation, economic and energy expenses of two groups: tractor-cultivator and yoke of oxen-cultivator with three and one work organs, respectively, in the work of cultivation of the bean, tomato and potato in a floor red Ferralitic, the times of each work, depth, wide, work speed and expense of fuel were measured. By means of the existent methodologies, these expenses were calculated, being necessary the energy expenses of the yoke of oxen.
