This one, it’s like a vehicle. I thought I looked like a ford banjo rear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 9,172 #587 Posted January 10, 2021 These 2 first pics were yesterday after the new trail was cut in. As much as I like this tractor nothing like a 312-8 when it comes to fuel consumption. Every time I check the fuel gauge it always seems to be on E. The 312 on the other hand can mow the yard with a 48'' deck 3 times before a top off on the fuel. Get ready Eric when you finish that big Kohler twin project of yours. 7 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get ready Eric when you finish that big Kohler twin project of yours. agree about the fuel consumption - but with a caveat ... when cutting grass I'm able to cut more grass quicker with 416 compared to 312 - so its basically a wash after cutting around 3 acres for 3 hours ... both 312 and 416 will require approx same amount of fuel I fill both to the top - and both are almost completely dry when I finish ... sometimes I will run out of fuel when I need to go over an area or two if I'm in the mood to do a slightly better job also - this might contribute - I typically run the 312 with more throttle ... run the 312 around 3/4 throttle (?) compared to around 1/2 throttle or a little more (?) on the 416 Edited January 10, 2021 by tom2p 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I had I running for just a few minutes the level of the glass fuel jar was falling fast!! @Stepney and I were just chatting about that yesterday. Fill tank. Go to forest and back. Refill tank. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
