well my Massey Ferguson 135 uses the same fuel per hour today, as it did 40 years ago,
Engines using more fuel to run hotter to produce less emissions
Hold on.
Someone will be along shortly to tell us that actually a certain brand of engine is up to 30% more fuel efficient than a near competitor.
Or more than 80% for a certain manufacturer..

But it's still rowing up hay.......Hold on mind, the JD 6150R is a far cry from the machine of 20 years prior. I bet it is heavier, can lift more, has more gizmos like suspension and can produce a lot more torque for more of the curve than a 6910 or similar could in its day.
I used to drive an MX170 that had the wick turned up a fair bit. Compare that to a Puma 185(?) today and the Puma would rip it in half and is a lot better at dragging something through the dirt.
a smaller tractor would use less fuel and do the jobBut it's still rowing up hay.......
Probably cos nobody thinks “hmmm I won’t buy the Ducati because the Honda does 2mpg more”Amazes me that motorbike economy has never improved either
Nick...
Ah yes the amazing tractor that does about 4x the mpg of your average lorry.Hold on.

My 2001 L200 was cr'p on fuel 24 mpg, where as my 2010 L200 is on average 28 to 32 mpg.I'd argue that cars are not as economical as they were ten years ago.

I’m just baffled why one particular brand that Ag dealers sell don’t have there yards full of scanias and volvos etc that have been part exed in a massive fuel saving exercise!
Fuel economy when buying a motorcycle hmm last thing on my mindProbably cos nobody thinks “hmmm I won’t buy the Ducati because the Honda does 2mpg more”
