The Deere's often had their rated PTO at rated engine speed so they made full power at 540... but then you've got to run them full tilt to keep up their speed... so they burn the fuel... and they don't have the torque to throttle back anyway. That's why you continously see anectdotal evidence of Ford's that burn a lot less fuel than Deere's....
