mog/tractor owners- what MPG are you getting?

[Matthew Storrs]

Huge amount of variables I know, but would be interested what MPG you get from say a u1200 with a chipper on the back for example.

Also wondering what people are getting from their tractors doing road work.

Worked out mine today- 7MPG:w00t: that's towing 4 tons on the road- fairly long 4 mile uphill hauls in some parts.

7 mpg is about the same as my disco v8 3.9 pulling a trailer of logs.

Ha, exactly, to be honest I always reckoned I got about 12 but was shocked when I actually worked it out.

Its only 30(well about 35) kph gearbox, do 40/50 kph tractors get MPH on the roads do you know?

I dread to think. At a guess id say 10mpg, I'll fill the valtra up in the morning and note the mileage i do over the week and work it out.

Thats about right for a mog, I find its easy to lose sight of this when you are filling up from an unmetered supply like ours. Lots of drive line soaking up power on a mog coupled to the aerodynamics of a brick. All of ours drink fuel but some on here will report them being good.

Probably best not to find out then:biggrin:

I check the consumption of my mog all the time and generally get 10-12miles to gallon towing 16 tons behind it
