What was MM's biggest gas tractor and how many gallons per hour could it burn? Thanks.

I know this is not anywhere near the most thirsty, buy my old U is a gasoline junkie. I can run my Z 3 times as long and my Massey 44 twice as long on a gallon of fuel.
Don't get me wrong, I love my U and use it often, but I use the Z as much as possible to save a dollar here and there.

I know its not a tractor, but i heard about a 605 powering a sawmill here in NC that wouldn't run a whole day on a 55 gal drum of gasoline.

I've got a G-1000 Vista gas,it is very discriminating, only runs on high test. It likes it so well that we only use it for light work. I don't have my own gas truck. Glenn

Do you mean just gasoline or lp gas included? If it is just gasoline then the G1000 gas would be the biggest, not many made though. My uncle had a G900 gas that was quite thirsty.

I guess I would like to revise my question. What is the biggest LP MM, and how much fuel will it use under a heavy load?

The thirstiest MM by far would be a G1350, G1355, or A4T-1600 made with the 800 LP gas engine. There was also a supercharger and/or turbo I have seen installed on these. Matt Nunez in Louisiana had a G1350 800 LP Supercharged. Has to be by far the thirstiest tractor MM had unless you want to talk about the 1210 power unit.
