- Ford: '88 3910 Series II, '80 3600, '65 3000; '07 6530C Branson with FEL, 2020 LS MT225S. Case-IH 395 and 895 with cab. All Diesels
13 gallons is pretty good for a tractor that size. My 3725 burns about a gallon an hour or a little less when I am working it hard like running a wood chipper. About half that for loader work if I'm running the rpms lower than recommended on my DPF equipped model.
My 6530c has the Cummins B 3.3 NA, 3.3 liter, 65 hp. Spec in the manual is 0.046 gal/hp/hr. At rated rpms, working, this is 2.9 GPH. No reason you couldn't use the same number. 45 hp at 2600 rpms would be 2 GPH. I'd assume you have the Cummins direct injected engine, naturally aspired like mine, just fewer cubes, same mfgr. (licensed), proportional loads and weights. No reason for the consumption to be different.
