    Hi all,

    Will be taking on hire from plant hire and i have 1 or 2 questions,

    what size tank for fuel does it have? or what does it cost to fill the machine?

    how long can i expect to get from a full tank running it 11hrs a day say at average working trottle. . .

    just a verification on this, these are seen as commercial machines and not agri? (i guess green or red diesel is what im asking?)

    if you have any experience id like to hear from ya. .

    cheers. .

    Whether you put in green or red diesel depends on what side of the border you will be buying fuel.

    Either way you are entitled to put in "marked gas oil", i.e. agri diesel.

    As to the tank and consumption, your question is akin to asking how long is a piece of string.

    what? i would assume if anybody operates a piece of machinary which uses some sort of fuel, Id be shocked if they werent aware of the consumption, within €50 price bracket at least. . .does it use €150 over 1 day, 3 days. . etc. . .

    if i drove my car for a living id give a good estimate of fuel consumption. .
