diesel per hour

johnboy6930

how much diesel would ye think a 120hp tractor would burn per hour?

bob charles

on average around 8 ltrs. 5 for yard work and 12 for heavy work and more for extra tough going. Output per hp is probably a better yard stick

flat out pedal to the metal mixing slurry about 4.5-5gals no exaggeration

probably more if it is going even harder and having to pump out black smoke

20/22 litres an hour when under load 75/80%

5 litres when tipping about the yard I'd agree with

I've the stats from our old 3000 series massey somewhere :rolleyes:
I'll post em up if I remember to look for them and actually find them!

Edit
3005 series

I was burning 4.5 gallons per hour the other day power harrowing on a 126hp New Holland. You couldn't be paid for harrowing at that rate.

Is this information available somewhere for all makes / models of tractors?

Apparently the Kubota tractors are more economical, but that may be just hear say

depends on what they are doing...
for heavy pto work (harvester etc..) Deere s and new hollands could get through 4 to 5 gal per hour, for dumper work where your not going full time 3 gallons per hr should see them through,
the most ecomimical hp for power i ever drove was an old Deutz it seemed to run on the smell of fuel!!!!
