KY said: (quoted from post at 16:17:11 12/17/12) How much fuel are we talkin? My D-17 AC burns 3 gallons an hour pulling a ten foot disc.Isnt a 560 quite a bit bigger than a D-17?
Not much difference HP wise... 560 a tiny bit more. You don't say if your's (D-17) is gas or diesel, but at 3 gph, it must be diesel..IH may use a little more fuel in either G or D. However, AC tractors of that era were light weight and needed either Snap-Coupler implemets to get the weight transfer or be heavily weighted. IH was heavier to start and needed less added. One of my uncles found that out when he bought a WD-45 and tried to pull the same 3x14" plow he did with his F-20... had tons of power, but needed to add a LOT of weight.
