The CAT 3208, screaming along @ 2800 will be pretty thirsty, compared to a slow-turning in-line Cummins.

Actually Bob the 3208 is pretty conservative on fuel. They are a bit of a miser. Working my white 4-150 hard it will burn about 6.5 gallons per hour at 2800 rpm. Old Versatile 895 I used to use had a real appetite for fuel. Seems like it was over 12 gallons per hour. I think that old girl had an 855 in it. It was a great machine though. Really bad one is my neighbors big old International 4wd with that big 800 cubic inch v-8 engine in it. Thing burns over 15 gallons of fuel per hour! Blew me away when he told me that. He pulls a 30 foot disk with it.
