yep. For a personal harvester it uses 600 power per day.

Strange... I fired up enough (calculated) power to serve the harvester for three days. The time remaining is now stating "1:10" - how does that refer to 72 hours???

I noticed that the power consumption for harvesters was weird. Here's what I think I've learned through my experience with Harvesters.
Here's the time check for a harvester in its most basic form (n:m).
First, let's take a look at "m", the first number on the time check. This number seems to be in hours. Strangely enough, I've seen (0:59) which would mean 59 hours. I haven't seen any "m" numbers over this number and so a logical conclusion is that the max is 60 hours (Or logical to me at least). Once the imaginary (as I can't be entirely sure) limit for "m" numbers is reached, the 60 hours becomes an "n" number.
The "n" number seems to NOT be an amount of days but an amount of 60 hours, therefore n=60m, and if m=1 hour, then n=60 hours. I am not able to confirm these numbers but it's what makes sense to me based on what I've seen with my Harvesters.
The only reason that I can see as to why n=60m is that maybe the devs confused hours and minutes thinking there were 60 hours in a day but that is illogical and improbable that no one picked it up. Anyway, hope that helps out the situation.

As a small correction, unless some time passed since FoPJester checked his harvester's status after he loaded up for 72 hours, it is possible that the "m" number limit is 62 hours and so n=62 hours or n=62m which might explain FoPJester's problem. If this is right, then I have no explanation whatsoever as to why "n" would equal 62 hours.
