[tonyvkubota]

Newbie here with a new B3200 HST with a fel. Using the tractor to push brush and tree tops in about ten inches of snow, in four wheel drive , it looks like I am using app. two gallons of fuel in about 5 hours of run time.Can anyone say if they see similar usage on a B3200 ? The machine starts and run fine . Any input be appreciated

Trust me if it were gas you would be usin a lot more than that, you will find that these machines are rather fuel efficient and for 5 hours work using about 2 gallons,, son your doing just fine

OK, now I feel better. Just when I hear people saying how they sip fuel, I thought I was using more than I should. Looking at it the way you pointed out makes a lot sense. And it is a pleasure cleaning up these trees now from the seat of the B3200. I am cleaning up three days worth of work in less than one day. Thanks for your reply.
