That's interesting. I've started a spreadsheet so I can better estimate my expenses and as I go through the year, I've been jotting down the fuel usage.
For pulling my 875 disc ripper with a 535 quad, the rate varies from 1.3-1.6 gallons per acre depending on soil type and compaction etc. That's 11.75" deep on the shanks measured with a tape measure and pulling it at 7mph.
