What would be a fuel consuption difference between 26 and 31 HP tractor?
How much would Kubota 3130 type of compact tractor take? Are these info's available anywhere.
OR, what's your experience??
Thanks in advance.

My experience is that a 22-24 horse diesel burns about 1/2 gallon(2 quarts)of fuel per hour.
If HP and fuel consumption are on the same curve, I would estimate that a 31 horse engine would use about 30 percent more or roughly 2.6 quarts per hour. ....
