90 acres of notill beans using with 7140 pulling 15 foot white 5100 9 row 20 inch used about 50 gallons. That includes idling, refill and teaching my son how to drive. Where it was smooth was running about 8mph, in 13 or 14th gear and 16-1700rpm, rougher fields slowed down to 11 or 12th gear so there were fewer beans on top.
