How many gallons of diesel do you use to cut your grass.

[longbow]

I used 2.75 gallons yesterday. How much do you use to cut your grass?

 

[Noland]

If I use the tractor it's 2.5 gallons of diesel and 3.5 hours of time. On the ZTR its 1.75 hours in the seat but 4 gallons of gasoline

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Don't use diesel, but I can get about 2.5 mowings on a 5 gallon can of gas...each mowing about 2.5 hours long.

 

[Sylvain]

ZERO.

I use about a half gallon of gas per mowing.

I've had the same five gallons of regular in my garage for 2 summers, and there's probably still a gallon in it.

 

[CountryBoy19]

I normally use about a quart.

 

[Mr.JAG]

My lawn is made of asphalt.

 

[Tydeeh22]

I mow with multiple machines. One gas the other diesel. I'd bet that I go through about a gallon of diesel and roughly 4 to 5 gallons of gas per mowing. The diesel mows less.

I've got about 5 acres to mow and or trim. When Gas/Diesel is High I cut various sections, rotating to which is highest. Instead of mowing the whole thing at one time and utilize the horses to eat the large grassy areas as much as possible. I can keep the yard grass mowed with the lawn tractor and only use the farm tractor when necessary for the large parcels. The Farm tractor cuts the time to about 4 hours but is too heavy to use near the house without disturbing the lawn. 4 - 5 gallon with the gas lawn tractor 24 HP Kawasaki 54" cut or probably 2 gallons or so with the diesel farm tractor 72" finish mower

My little 670 JD with a 18hp Yanmar burns it at about .8 gallons/hour, spinning a 60" deck. My dad's 425 JD burns gas at about 1.2 gallon/hour with a 60" deck. If Dad runs the grass catcher, his jumps to almost 2 gallons/hour and it's all the 25hp gas motor can do to spin it.
