That is quite a bit, in comparison to have run the same year in a 4000 for many years. Even my 850 ford, LP powered, would cut the 7 acre field on one 30Lb propane tank, taking 4 hours, with just a little fuel to spare.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that.
