Neil: I've only ever seen one IH 6 cylinder gasser in my life. I've been told by countless owners of them burning 5-6 gph. I find this believeable as my 300 burnt 3 Imperial gph on a 9' haybine. My 656 diesel would come in at 1 Imperial gph on that same haybine, plus it mowed about 20% more hay per hour.
I also had a 282 diesel in my IH 560, and during the years those two tractors were my main source of power, it took damn heavy work to hit 2 Imperial gph and my 560 was turned up to 90 hp for 16 of it's 17 years. I also have to say, during the years 560 and 656 did the bulk of the work, my fuel and repair bills were lowest, in relation to work done. It's also interesting the net profit was better during those 7 years than any other period before and after. And after included a 1066 and 100 hp Deere. There were factors affecting bottom line unrelated to tractor power.
