6 gallons of diesel an hour, uf da.

Our little 2-cyl Ford 1500 CUT has a 5 gallon tank and uses half a gallon an hour.

Curious if they ever tried to rig a 3pt hitch in one of those.

You should compare them to bulldozers; a quick search reveals that they use just as much fuel:

well, that wasn't as alarming as "one down the shed there that'll use 13 litres of petrol every hundred yards." I hope it is moving a lot of dirt in those 100 yards.

Oh I'm well aware that they aren't equivalent, out little Ford is only ~25hp at the crank :).
