    I am wore out filling the tractor.

    Was agitating for three hours non stop and was shocked at how much diesel it burned.

    Thought the same myself even though I don't use much, asked a contractor who knows where every penny goes and he says it burns 20% quicker. heating diesel I believe is not low sulphur but is illegal for agricultural use so don't even think of using it

    I'd say the agitator would stay still and the 35x would be spinning!!!!

    As far as I am aware lots of suppliers as still selling the older type(high sulphur?) diesel to farmers unless they request the low sulphur stuff on account of having the newer type tractors ie add blue dpf etc.

    Asked the lorry driver the last time I got some(mid Jan.) and he told me that everyone bar one or two contractors were still getting the older type diesel.
