Ya,that number has me scratching my head too. I chopped 84 loads off just over 30 acres. Took me 8 days working alone. I filled the White 2-135 four times in all that. Filled the 1365 that I packed and leveled with once,and the 2-105 that I hauled with once. The 2-135 holds 59 gallons,but it was far from empty,probably could have gone three days instead of two,but didn't want to press my luck.
Let's over estimate and say it took 45 gallons each time I filled the 135,that's 180 gallons. The 1365 holds something like 14,but I didn't use it all. The 105,I don't know,let's over blow that one too and say I used 40 gallons,which I doubt. We're at 234 gallons. I got fuel a few weeks ago for $1.75. That's about $410.
I know for a fact from hearing one guy complain that he didn't know ahead of time,that when the custom operator is done,you have to fill all their trucks and equipment with fuel,plus pay whatever they charge per hour. I'm having a heck of a time believing that I could have gotten the job done by a custom operator for just 30% over the $410 that I spent doing myself.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
