I posted this on the original thread but just in case some people miss it back on the back pages I thought I would post the actual data here. MrIH was nice enough to post the actual fuel consumption rates from the Nebraska Tractor Test results. Model ------ 100% ------- 50%
gallons of fuel used per hour Gas Hydro ---- 6.383 ----- 5.228
Dsl Hydro ---- 5.380 ----- 3.935
Gas Gear ----- 5.182 ----- 3.712
Dsl Gear ------ 4.173 ----- 2.583 MrIH mentioned that the Hydros were set at 2,300 rpm vs. 1,800 rpm for the gear drive so that explains part of the extra consumption for the Hydro. Looks like the Gas uses about 1 gallon per hour more than the Diesel and everyone was right on the Gas Hydro, it eats the fuel like nobodys buisness but the Diesel Hydro is close behind and actually uses more than the Gas Gear drive!! The difference between the gas and diesel seems to stay about the same at the reduced power. Using the unrounded numbers the Gas uses 1.009 gph more at 100% and 1.129 gph more at 50% - The diesel gets a little more efficient at the lighter load but not alot more than the gas. At $2.50 per gallon the gas gear drive version will cost about $275 more to run per year than the diesel gear drive per every 100 hours of operation on fuel costs. Thought I would share the actual test results that MrIH provided. Nathan

The whole experience can be marred if one moves too fast and makes too many assumptions that they can just use "as is" some parts they should be closely scrutinizing and possibly attended to. In such cases, rework makes what could have been a fun project turn into an irritant or even a nightmare. Minor Irritants To give you an example of an minor but irritating proble
