part of the reason for going from 4 to 6 at the 90 to 95 HP change is for traction, with the bigger power for tillage work, you need a longer tractor, or a LOT of front ballast, more front ballast means more tire wear on the front, kingpin and spindle issues, and the list goes on
as for todays fuel economy, is really complicated right now with all the new engine designs and electronic controls coming out due to the Tier 2 and coming soon Tier 3 emmisions laws, some of the electronic 6's are way better on fuel then the 4's, and some machines are just pigs, kinda like cars and trucks
