One night the BTO I worked for had all his 4020's/4320 tied up on other jobs. Said I could plow with the new to him 4020 gas. So when I was done with my Day job, ran home for a bite to eat, when I got back to work Boss had the 4020 gas hooked to the F-145 5-14 plow. Gassed up, pleenty of oil, headed out to the land started in the 80 acre field. 4th gear was fast enough to make the exh manifold glow red in places, bottom of muffler dull red. Tried 5th and it lugged down so ran in 4th. 16 half mile rounds, about 4 hours first tank of gas gone. Back to yard, gassed up checked oil and back out to plow. 16 more rounds, another 4 hours, just enough gas to get back to the yard. I got the tank about half full, Boss comes out to start chores, we talk for 5-10 minutes, car pulls in the driveway, pulls up under the yardlight. Was Dad looking for me. He was just home from work and Mom was upset I wasn't home yet. When I turned on the north headland I was 5/8ths mile from our house, she could see my headlights! Went home, slept about 2 hours and went back and hauled manure again.
ANY HOW, Any 4020 diesel would have pulled that plow in 5th, not 4th, and I could have run all night on 1 tank of fuel, not two. diesel 5 gal per hour, gas 7 gal per hour and less work.
