When my 1086 was new and set by the factory I was pulling a 6/16 plow at 5 mph burning almost 5 gal per hour. About 145 HP.
I turned up the fuel to get 175 hp and pulled that plow 6.5 mph. Burned about 6.5 gallon per hour.
I used about the same gallons of fuel per acre to plow but got it done faster.

How many trips did you make to get that 10 acres ready?
When I plowed, disced, field cultivated and planted, I would burn about 4 to 5 gallons per acre.
