FYI, after swallowing my pride and buying a Dodge to get the Cummins, I'd never go back. 22 mpg to start, 21 mpg with 158,000. All my tractors have traveled on a 16 ft flatbed with 2-5/16 ball, trailer house axles with no brakes. Flatbed so tires can hang over both sides. Used to pull everything with a 350 Chevy, including a 300 Farmall from Houston to Tulsa. the Cummins is much better, and fuel economy seems relatively independent of load. Farm hauling you travel at the speed which is safe for the load, whether it's hay, cattle, or implements. An M on a good trailer is really not that much of a load. They ride better than 5,000 lbs of hay or 5,000 lbs of cattle. Most people seem to be very tolerant of a vehicle moving slow for an obvious reason. Fast speeds with a loaded trailer are never safe. Just my 2 cents.
