Superman: I farmed for a whole lot of years, probably saw 100,000 hours go on tractors. There are only 3 items to look for in a Nebraska test. flywheel hp, pto or belt hp and drawbar hp. What they give you for fuel comsumption will never come to reality in field conditions.

The 560 and 656 diesels are a 282 engine and I had both of those tractors. I've seen my 656 plow all day on a 5x16 bottoms, plowing 8" deep and never burnt more than 2 gph of fuel. Even my 560 which was cranked up to 90 hp, working to it's limit would only burn 3 gph. I'm also talking hour meter hours, so on both those tractors, thus it was hours at 1800 rpm.
