    Diesel consumption for John Deere 5425

    Texasmark: I appreciate you taking the time to reply again. I found it interesting how you came to buy your Branson. I was wondering with you having owned John Deere tractors in the past, why you did not buy another? You have used them, it sounds like, on a large scale operation. I have...

    Diesel consumption for John Deere 5425

    Bill(Wis): Thank you again for your insight. I went to the test results on the John Deere 6403, and I see what you are referring to. I found it very interesting in your reference to your soils.

    Diesel consumption for John Deere 5425

    According to the Nebraska tractor test for the John Deere 5425, the number of gallons of fuel used is 4.68 gallons per hour. Is that fuel useage correct for this tractor during normal operations like cutting hay and pulling a baler? Thanks for any information! Duane
