I have newer and bigger tractors, but for my small farm I use a Farmall 706 gas all of the time. I really like it as it is comfortable to run, fairly heavy throughout, easy to turn sharply, and has "power" everything. It doesn't do bad on gas unless you are using it heavy. Pulling a planter, cultivating and mowing the tractor will run a couple of hours easy on 5 gallons of gas. That is at maybe 1/2 throttle. The engines do not last as long as a diesel. I have sleeved/ringed it and ringed it again during the last eight years. I am sure at full throttle pulling a disk or plow it will want to drink gas. I have heard that they are not near as bad as a 806 gas. Great tractor in my opinion. I would like to have a diesel 706 too although.
