Just bought a Branson with a 4 cyl B3.3 Cummins engine built by Komatsu in Japan. The fuel consumption posted is .083 gal/hp/hr. That pretty much says it. If you aren't using the ponies you don't have to feed them.
Have some 3 and 4 cyl older Fords that do real good too. Don't have any numbers, but you get the feel for how much it costs to do different jobs. Course when these are on E you are only talking about 15 gallons to fill er up.
But my Deere is a thirsty critter; easy to empty that 45 gallon tank regardless of what I'm doing. Course it's roughly twice the hp of the others and it is on a big frame (rowcrop) with cab so you have to pay the bill to move all that weight around.
So it sits in the shed till I bale hay (JD 530 baler requires min 70 hp and it's 100) or do my initial plowing for the season.
This little Branson is going to be the farm workhorse and the size is just right for most jobs around the place; 57 pto hp. Cab, loader, and 4wd just make the deal sweater.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
