It never ceases to amaze me how some tractors have certain things that make them drink fuel. Sometimes it obvious from how hard the engine is working, sometimes not. I'm plowing terraces with the 886 and a five bottom plow. Some fields make her really thirsty. I was just in a field I thought was easy - I never used the TA - and I need to stop at the fuel barrels after lunch. With the 4440 it's the 12 foot moco. She does other field work, but when she has to do that pto stuff there's no comparison. The 7800 has absolutely no variance - it's like the 8430.

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
