I have an 826 witha D358 with about 8100 hours that I can crow about. I can't attest to it starting well when cold, because mine doesn't (still the original low compression pistons), unless plugged in, but it runs well and is very fuel efficient. I just finished chisel plowing some of my ground and, as normal, it burned just a skosh over 4GPH doing it. My 826 had been used only for occasional mowing for many years before I bought it, but now that it's really being worked these past few years, it actually runs BETTER. It used a lot of oil at first, but with some hard work and a change from straight 30 to 15-40 oil , it uses about the right amount now (1-2 qts per season, or about a quart every 20-25 hours or so). I have two neighbors with JD 4020s and both are jealous of my fuel efficiency. I do the same work for 1.5 to 2 GPH less. Another neighbor has an 856 and he's kinda jealous too. My 826 will outpull his 856, but that's only because his runs like crap and he's too cheap or lazy to make repairs.
