Nathan: I wouldn't want to bet very much money on those facts. Neb. tests while helpful, will not play out in the field, as it applies to fuel consumption. I had both a 656 and 560 gear drive diesels, and on NH 460 haybine they would run 1 to 1.25 Imp. gallons per hour. My 300 would run 3 Imp. and not be as fast on the haybine. In discussing with a friend my 300 was quite efficient compared to his 460 gas.

The 656 diesel will probably run 10,000 hours without a tuneup, whereas the gasser will require major tuneup every 500 hours. I would venture to guess when diesel is running at 1.25 gallon per hour, the gasser will be burning 4 gallons on same work. Nebraska tested these tractors two or three days when new. I put many thousands of hours on them.
