You guys crack me up , THEY USE A LOT OF GAS . Yes they USE GAS so does your pick up i have run 706 gasser probably longer then any of you . NO they are not a V W BUG and NO they do not get 41 MPG . Yes they will suck a full tank of gas in a full day of pulling 4x16's 8-10 inches deep . I can Mow rake twice 28 acres plus move all the bales on one tank of gas on some of the nastiest ground you will ever want to put a tractor on on hills that work the snoot out of it pulling a 9 foot haybine . IF you keep them in tune and use the gas that will run in it they do well. Put the 706 in the field with the 806 and pulling the same plow in the same gear the 706 will be on the heals of the 806 DIESEL all day long and GUESS WHAT they both need a FULL tank of fuel at the end of the day the 806 has a BIGGER TANK ALSO. Oh but i do not want to spend the extra money on the 93 octane gas . well for use that EXTRA .20 cents a gallon amounts to around 80 bucks more for gas each year . The cost of replacing a piston due to piston melt down from tryen to save that 80 bucks is around 350 bucks just for the parts and that is IF you can save the sleeve . We make a little over 400 acres of hay each year and our 706 mows 95 percent of it rakes 90% of it . when winter sets in the 706 does all the winter work and the diesels are put to bed . IN other words we go thru about 500 gallon of gas each year and around 800 in diesel for three diesels . They are a good tractor and if you are not going to use it for heavy work all the time they really are not bad on fuel . Also i can not say all the gas goes into the 706 as OH the 4 wheeler needs gas so off to the tank , oh the old J D A needs gas OFF to the tank. we need to clean parts in the field OFF to the tank for a couple gallon . then you add in evaporation and god only knows how much we loose to that each year. One thing about then if you keep it tuned up and a good battery in them they will start even down to 35 below with 30 weight oil in them , they may not like it but neither did i when it was that cold.

Today's Featured Article - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
