You asked about the Deere R diesel tested in 1949. It was very efficient, but the 720 Deere diesel later beat it. Look at these specs as compared to some newer tractors. Keep in mind that many new tractors boast great efficiency at just one peak level. It's really the all-around figures that count, unless you only use a tractor for one specific load and job. Look at these complete figures (not usualy abreviated tests that are often cited). Gives you a much better idea of a tractor that gets used for many different types of work. These older tractor do much better then many of the newer ones.
