I saw that two days ago White. 350 Chevy install on his tractor. Interesting set up.
5 gal is roughly 20 litres. Ouch ! an hour!!!
Diesel is 1.40 Euro/ litre. No wonder farmers are bankrupt.
You're looking at roughly 28 euros an hour in diesel fuel to plow your fields with a cultivator/weed knives. Multiply that by 5 hours a day for a medium size farm.
No wonder these guys charge 40 + euro an hour in tractor labor.
On top of that, you see a lot of farms sitting fallow for years. Crops are diminished in value, high costs to cultivate.
Lots of tall dry grasses. No wonder so many fires all over europe. climate change is to blame ??? yeah shir !
cultivated fields/farms don't catch fire.

Euro? I figured you were in Canada. Where are you?
Oh Denmark. That F150 is a long way from home then.
Your English is great. Had me fooled. It is far better than my Danish.Then again I only know English and enough German to get me in trouble there.

I like to travel. I enjoy both sides of the pond... ROFL!
Might live in Europe, but too much damn socialism.
Both continents have their pros/cons.
Here's that data you asked for. On average I see 5 gal for 5 hours. Roughly a gallon an hour of diesel.
Nebraska Tractor Test 1478 Diesel 12-speed 4WD

The consumption vs output is about right. Most of the time the power output is just not very high so fuel use is not very high.
So... Frankie will be wearing a Technicolor Dreamcoat?
Yes... pretty much. My friend sent me a pic of it tonight, and it's dark charcoal silver. I'm going up there on Saturday to grab it.
Do any of you have much experience with fiberglass? I'm wanting to fill in these holes on my hood. Maybe there's a better way? They make such a mess under the hood.
Well... so far (just this week) I have 3, possibly 5 videos lined up with other people. Three are collaborative, the other two are working on other cars.
My friend wants me to drive Frankie 110 miles round trip for one though. Not sure if I trust the trans. It sounds like a barrel of rocks.
