For me the best fuel economy tractor i ever owned was a Famall 450 diesel and one fill up would last longer then i would plowing and i was young back then i had the bigger tank on mine and it held twentyfive gallon and ever with the screw turned out it would run all day and into the night on a tank pulling four bottoms . Now i see by your chart that the 706 gasser was suppose to be the worst gasser out there , welll myself i have lost count of all the 706 gassers that i have owned ran and sold and for years i had one that i farmed with and i never felt that it was that hard on gas.I could cover more ground in a day with the same plow that i pulled behind the 450 at a faster ground speed at the same depth over the same ground and use ten more gallons of fuel . we still use 2 706 gasser today for mainly chore work like mowing raking some feed grinding wagon pulling . I can tell ya this that i can mow 28 acres on some of the nastiest ground you want to be on with a 9 foot haybine then rake it twice and still have a 1/4 tank of gas left for the 8 miles back to the home farm .Our biggest problem now with them is GAS the gas we are able to get is not working out well and we are seeing a lot of problems with them now . We just had one go down on use because the guy driving it lugged it down way to far trying to pull a full silage wagon full of corn silage . A 75-80 hp tractor weighing in at around 10500 lbs pulling a wagon with 13-15 ton of silage up our hils and into and up over the pile did something as she either ate a valve or she ate a piston or she blew a head gskt. Don't know yet as i have not had time to look as much as i personally like then i think that there days are numbered . And we are going to have to get bigger higher Hp tractors with this silage thing as these loads are even taxing the 1066 to the max . And the worst tractor for fuel economy is the 2255 oliver with the Cat it needs fueling twice a day just pulling wagons and as for the John Deere forage harvester we should get a Thankyou card from the rag heads.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
