I know for sure that if you're towing something like an H or an M, up through the 460/560 you're wasting fuel. The gears run submerged in oil. There's no pressurized lubrication system in the transmission.

When you get into the really new powershift tractors like the Magnum, then there may be something to leaving the trailing tractor running while it's being towed.
