He also shares real fuel-burn numbers (about two tanks over 16 hours) and notes the tractor still needs break-in time before economy improves. Good for buyers wanting real-world grading performance and fuel insight.
Posted by the Skid-Co channel, an owner sharing firsthand grading work on his own property rather than a dealer or reviewer.
It burned about two tanks of fuel over 16 hours on the tractor, and fuel economy had not yet improved since the engine was still breaking in.
A grader scraper does more work per pass and is more forgiving for less experienced operators, but costs about double the price of a box blade.
The owner made about four passes, taking less material each time, going from a full box down to about half a box on the final pass.
The owner estimated spending five to six hours on the roughly five acre area before it needed further tuning with a grader scraper.
