1) you can't be working the engine 'hard' unless it is a) at pto engine speed and b) governor is making it bark. I would think you are OK on a) but not b).

Sort the leaks first. Engine oil is black. Power steering oil should not be black. That may well reduce your engine oil losses by 80%!

Your original post said might need a quart of oil every 20 acres? Some difference! We are only able to offer suggestions, but remember, if you had bought the gas tractor you would, like as not, have been treated in the same way - sold a heap of trouble.

When you have worked it HARD (a few hours ploughing?) and fixed the leaks get back to us with the oil usage, not leakage. I suspect tractor is from a cold area and it has been started with ether and has cracked/shattered rings, something I would take account of, with a diesel, if I were buying.
