My M11 is a lot of things, but fuel stingy is not one of them.

Hunter, don't get me wrong. I love the M11. The power and torque characteristics of the engine make operating the combine a pure joy. It just likes its fuel. I had an l2_no hydro before I got this machine. In similar wheat, it would cut from 2 to 3 acres on a gallon of fuel. The R72 makes 1.33 acres_gal. on its best day. Of course, the reduction in losses because of better threshing and seperation more than make up for the increased fuel use, but as previously stated; the R72_M11 combination is not the stingiest fuel user out there.

Considering the fuel use of the M11, It should have about 50 gal. more fuel tank. Considering present design, not sure how to add to tank size easily. New competitive designs are getting nice size fuel tanks on them I have noticed.
