[QUOTE="DrDunc, post: 5041838, member: 615"] Most definitely yes. I've posted many times examples of where there's been a different brand doing exactly the same job in the same field, and the deutz consistently uses 10 to 20% less fuel. On the old bff there was a thread where I'd compared a Deere 6330 and a deutz k430 power harrowing side my side in a wet 20 acre field. Tanks brimmed at the start and metered in when finished, the Deere used near 5l/ hour more to do the exact same job. Carting straw this winter, a landini (40hp more than my deutz 6150.4) pulled the same weight, following me at the same speed, and used near 20% more diesel. That included the deutz loading the straw while the other was switched off. I've also compared mowing, baling, ploughing, even silage carting (though that's a difficult comparison as there's so many variables). Consistently the deutz engines use less fuel than equivalent sized tractors from other brands, including engines from sisu, new Holland, Deere..... The only tractor that has come close was a zetor forrterra 140 which was remarkably good. I've not managed to compare to a fendt, but it's the engine that creates their economy. Vario gearboxes actually use more fuel through mechanical inefficiencies than powershift. However they make this up by optimising the match between engine load to gear ratio. A tractor doing 1000 hours per year saving just 2l/hour average, is costing £1000 less a year in fuel. I save more than that a year in fuel compared to other brands. That's a lot of money over the years to buy implements! [/QUOTE]
