| My 960 uses only about half that much working a bushhog in tall grass. Agree with other commentators here that something needs attention on your 860.

They aren't real good on fuel. But, that seems excessive. Could be the float is soggy and letting too much fuel flow, could be the air cleaner, could be a leak at that miserable fuel leaking shut off under the tank, could be a cracked fuel line, could be carb settings, could be some other stuff. How does it run? Does it smell like it's running rich? Raw gas smell?

| Sounds like you have a leak in your fuel system or a main jet set way way to rich or a clogged up air cleaner. When was the last time you dumped the dirt and water out of the air cleaner and fill it with new oil. I know my 841 works a very long time on just a gallon of gas

| | fuel usage should be tied to load. at lower load.. less fuel.
you sure it isn't simply leaking out?
my 950 uses nowhere near that mowing...
