STX 430 or 485 Fuel usage?

sounds like one of those too good to be true deals, 23 gph at 450 hp getting real close to 20 gal/hp hour...can use the same operation to get at the other tractor, not accurate as per running until so many hours are used then head for the fuel tank but will show the difference in fuel consumption in relation to each other...Don't use that to compare colors or we all be in trouble...23 gph at 460 hp makes it much easier to see.

The 485 is actually priced better than the 430. Looks like they are both a 12.9L engine.

Sure?
Not familiar enough with CIH model #'s to say for sure but in NTTL they are different as long as I am picking the right tests.
And I'm not sure I'm.

Did they go from 15.0 Cummins to 12.9 Iveco in from 480 to 485?

485 had issues with the compound turbo set up around here, they are cheap used. On the up side 430 did not have the compound turbo.
