Ya,that number has me scratching my head too. I chopped 84 loads off just over 30 acres. Took me 8 days working alone. I filled the White 2-135 four times in all that. Filled the 1365 that I packed and leveled with once,and the 2-105 that I hauled with once. The 2-135 holds 59 gallons,but it was far from empty,probably could have gone three days instead of two,but didn't want to press my luck.
Let's over estimate and say it took 45 gallons each time I filled the 135,that's 180 gallons. The 1365 holds something like 14,but I didn't use it all. The 105,I don't know,let's over blow that one too and say I used 40 gallons,which I doubt. We're at 234 gallons. I got fuel a few weeks ago for $1.75. That's about $410.
I know for a fact from hearing one guy complain that he didn't know ahead of time,that when the custom operator is done,you have to fill all their trucks and equipment with fuel,plus pay whatever they charge per hour. I'm having a heck of a time believing that I could have gotten the job done by a custom operator for just 30% over the $410 that I spent doing myself.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
