Did you read the PDF I linked? It has a table with x PTO HP used = y gallons of fuel used per hour.
Of course you will use less fuel running a tedder than you would running a bush hog, but that tractor will use ~1.7 gallons of fuel per hour just to spin the engine at 2200 RPM.
No.. obviously he didn't.. or didn't understand what he read.
load determines fuel usage...
