Owning three 9u's pulling the same tillage equipment it vary some by how the fuel pump and governor is set as well as driving style.I am looking more at gallons per acre than gallons per hour,but with tillage work I would guess 4 gallons per hour is close.Having a hard nose with a 6s cat blade I would assume dozing would use a little less.

I have 9U16163 which was new in 1954. I used it through 1967 pulling a #60 scraper. You had to keep filing all day to use 36 gal. plus/minus. She is old and tired, but still my favorite.
