How much Diesel on tick over Does Your tractor use
180hp claas 2.5 ltr / hr

Personally I hate leaving any machine on tick-over as I regard this as a waste & not good for any engine & you'll save several pounds in a day if you do pull the stop button of use the switched solenoid!

You'll also destroy any engine with a turbocharger. A turbo continues to spin at high RPM for several minutes after the engine spools down, cutting the engine also cuts the oil supply to said aforementioned turbo.
Leave the thing ticking over for a few minutes, be mechanically sympathetic.
A turbo will only keep spinning for minutes if you turn off the engine while at full boost.
As long as you let it run at lower throttle for a minute or two before shutting off there's really no reason to park it and idle for minutes...

Make sure she's ridden hard and put away wet.

Idiling a turbo charged engine before shut down is not, to allow the turbo to slow down
Entirely correct, but engines are increasingly at or near to full boost a lot of the time. My tractor is boosting hauling a trailer from the field next to the yard, thanks to emissions related engine mapping.
My car boosts at anything over 1/8th throttle, which means constantly.
I think it's safer to assume that a machine is on boost any time I use it, which means letting it cool off before I settle myself in the chair for the evening.
Most, almost all modern cars and trucks, are now fitted as standard with automatic stop/start systems. Perhaps you have missed this phenominon which has become universal over the last five years or so? It's even fitted to the milk tankers that collect here and they automatically restart when vacuum is needed to suck the milk in from the tank.
