Fuel efficiency can be a subjective issue. Trade to a new tractor with twice the HP and do twice the work per hour. Yet if the fuel tank is 1.5 times larger than the old tractor. And you have to fill the tank every four hours instead of six.You will feel the tractor is a hog. If the tank was 3 time larger you would think she goes a long way on a tank of fuel.
Putting that 2840 on a dyno and measuring fuel use is the only way to really know. The seat of the pants makes inaccurate dyno.
The problem could be as simple as worn/dirty injectors or mud dabbers plugging the air intake. How many times has the primary and secondary air filters been cleaned?
Is there something like a hydraulic leak making the pump operate constantly and take extra HP to drive?
Is the tractor overballasted and burning a whack of fuel just to over come rolling friction as it hauls it's fat *ss around?
