What's your Fuel Consumption... Gallons per Hour

Re: What\'s your Fuel Consumption... Gallons per Hour

Yanmar 1510D, about half a gallon per hour mowing, more when using the FEL. It is a 3 cylinder diesel, about 19.5 HP. I can't help but notice though that it uses less fuel than my 17.5 HP Troybuilt lawn tractor!

TN70A (70 HP, 3 CYL, Turbo Diesel) running around 1400 rpm (max torque) is
0.8 gallons per hour.

Mainly moving wet wood chips,digging some soil with FEL 72 inch bucket. RPMs going from 700 (idle) to 1400 while working. Tranny is 8x8 with electric shuttle shift running in 4th gear while moving load, 1st gear while digging.

Finally got mine checked, L2500 ran 8 hours and added 3.5 gallons. So about .4375 per hour. Mowing, disking. Running better than 2000. I usually mow at pto speed.

Mahindra 6500 (65 hp) which I just got, mowed tall grass for 5 hrs and used just under 5 gallons. So being the math genius that I am, I guess that would be about 1 gallon per hour.

I have a 1715 Ford/New Holland 27 HP with 5' brush hog & it uses about .45 GPH while brush hoging tall grass . Can run 8 hours & fill up with 5 gal can & have some left over . My Lowes 18 HP lawn & garden tractor 46" cut uses about 1.2 GPH
