OK. I'll add mine too...a little better than 1/2 gallon per hour cutting the weeds at about 2000 RPM. 20HP China tractor.

I just finished rough cutting 10 acres. Ran the tractor (Deere 3520) for 6.5 hours and it took less than half a tank of fuel. With a 13 gallon tank, that comes out somewhere just under 1 gallon per hour. Not too bad for running at PTO speed. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

i used .6 gph in my cub 7530 mowing 2 to 3 foot weeds with a 5ft brush hog at rated pto rpm. i was amazed and am thinking i should drive this thing to work everyday considering the cost of fuel its just that i'd have to leave a few hours ealier with a top speed of 12 mph
