rustred said: (quoted from post at 20:06:02 12/11/12) you are comparing a j d 60 to a c, well no wonder it does twice the work.the 60 is more comparable to the super m. or in the standard version the 60 is equal to the super w-6
You miss the point... the 60 is 1/2 again as big and uses the same amount of gas per hour. We pulled a 3x14' pull type plow with the 60s and a 2x14 F-H mounted with the Super C and they burned approx. the same amount of fuel per hour (not per acre), between 2 and 2 1/2 gph. Pulled a 10' tandem disk with the 60s and a 7' tandem Fast Hitch mounted with the SC and again they used approx. the same gas per hour. Are you telling me the SM will use less than a Super C??? I don't think so. The nebr. tests show the 60 using more gas than that, but we had 2 of them and neither ever used over 2 1/2 gph no matter whether you were plowing, disking, picking corn with a 2 row mounted picker, whatever. Dad always said, and I don't know because I was too young at the time, that the 60s used less than a 1940 A he had before he got the first 60. Also, the Super C used about 1/2 again (50% more per hour) the gas of the C he had before the SC.
Now I'm comparing the ones Dad owned and maybe the 60 was an extremely efficient model... don't know about the others, even though I have run some of the other 2 bangers, up to an 820. I do know I ran a 450 Farmall quite a bit and it was a real gas hog, but I thought pulled better than it should have for it's size. Same ranch had a 350D and it didn't use much fuel at all, but we never pulled it hard either like the 450G.
