Vet: My 656 Diesel, would pull 5x16, 8" deep, using less than 1.5 Imperial gallons per hour. Probably was only making 4 mph, however a 5x16 making 4 mph will plow more than 4x16 making 5 mph.
As for the 9' haybine, 656 diesel 1 gpm, and yes I am talking Imperial gallons. I had used my 300 on that same haybine burning up 3 gallons of gas per hour. I didn't need to find out about a 6 cylinder gassers.
The 282 diesel, and I had two of them, required no tune ups until they had 9,000-10,000 hours on them. How many times did you tuneup that old 706 gasser, in the firs 10,000 hours. I kid you not, my 560 was rebuilt at 9,500 hours. That was the first time valve cover, oil pan were ever off. The injection system had never been apart or even adjusted, other than to step the hp at around 600 hours. My 656 went over the 10,000 hour mark, never having had valve cover or oil pan off, and injection system was never touched.
I had seen enough of old gassers by 1960, I didn't need to experience 6 cylinder tractor gassers. And don't run away with the idea you've worked these more than some of us. In 1976 my farming and custom work operation clocked up over 5,000 hours on 7 tractors and 2 skid loaders. Only the 1066 and articulated Deere went out on custom work.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
