 This chart is in the latest Farm Industry News. After a quick glance I thought to myself we have really not improved much in fuel efficiency. In 1969 Test #1006 at 75% of Max Power the 1470 had a rateing of 14.39 hp-hr per gal. On this chart I put a check mark by the new tractors the 1470 beat and is not far behind the best. Rod.

| You would like the tractor but the fuel consumption is like Casenutty said, about a third more on the same work. The cab sure is nice on dusty, cold or hot days. Oh yeah the buttons on the fender for the three point. AWESOME. Tom

| Rod, I have to say my 1470 and 770 are the most fuel effiecient tractors I have ever run, I had sold a new MX120 a few years back and the man had no work for it so I made the payments for the summer and used it plowing discing drilling and haying, I really liked the cab cooling/heating system, it was rated more hp than my 970 but pulled the same equipment mostly the same as it and the 970 burned 1/3 less fuel also, I will stay with the tractors I have even if I could buy newer I am not sure I would although a 5250 would be handy for some things thanks for posting and putting up with my rant cnt tom
