Facts an figgurs vurus real life. I spent the last 3 days on a Cockshutt 540 going full bore with a pipe loader thankfully much stronger than it looks. This snow is now like concrete laced with lead. F162 flathead, 1 gallon and about a pint, every hour. And I can't really get it to rev any higher if I needed to. My fergies with Z120's to 145's get an average of a gallon an hour no matter what they are doing. When I was doing hay with gas- old beat up Allis Chalmers gassers... after a 12 or 13 hour day- I don't think I ever poured in more than 2 five gallon jugs. I would go neck and neck with a neighbor with a variety of IHC diesels, and he always had to put in as much fuel in them as I did gas. Some years gas was a buck less than diesel too... I heard that Nebraska test people figured nearly every manufacturer put in a tank that would work a pto at 640 for 10 hours, and an hour or 2 extra fuel to get home etc. So if a tractor is not flogged to death, doesn't have burnt up valves etc, if it runs out of fuel before supper, something's wrong... A few months ago I needed to change a sediment bowl... the tank was over half full... it took nearly half a day to drain out! So how could it burn faster than pour? Your modern little oriental diesel should burn 2 gallons between breakfast and midnight snack....
