What is your average fuel consumption per hour?

[CEPGEO]

Was wondering what everyone averages for fuel consumption per hour operated? I know it depends on use, which is why I was asking for an average. My tractor averages about a gallon of diesel per hour...was just wondering if that was typical.

I have a Jinma 554 that is usually pretty good with fuel consumption. However, when using my snow blower I need to keep the revs up around the 2400rpm range and at that speed I use around one gallon an hour. When using the blower the snow is usually 6" or greater in the drifted areas, so the engine is working pretty hard at times.

At PTO speeds;my L3130 Kubota was 1gal/hr,my L4240 is 1.25gal./hr.

I want to say about a gallon an hour with my Bobcat CT230. A lot depends on temperature, RPMs I'm running at, and load.

On my B2920 it's just under 1 gall / hour at PTO speed (probably like .9 or .8). At lower RPMS its a lot less....

It may help estimate fuel consumption for different work conditions.

Post 29 has interesting charts.

My DK35SE HST seems to use around 1 gallon per hour.

1 to 1.5 for my Kubota l45 after a big day the fuel lights on and I have to put 2 5 gallons

I had to look this up and saw that the tractor only hold 11.2 gallons, only then did I realize the you were putting in 2 each 5 gallon cans (10 Gallons) and not 25gallons.

Running my 60" MMM is under a gallon per hour.

I also have similar experience with the CT235. I usually run 5 hours at 5.5 gallons.
