I don't believe your fuel consumption numbers. 4 gallons per hour at 105 hp, means 26 hp hour per gallon. The best tractor at Nebraska tracctor tests before 1975 did 16 hp hour per gallon. It didn't have power steering, live hydraulics, or power breaks, just minimal hydraulics. Nothing for operator comforts. The best today may do a bit over 20.

You aren't getting 105 hp of work out of that engine continuously. Its not at full throttle with that load. I'm talking pulling a big enough plow fast enough that the engine speed is pulled down below the governed speed and the governor has the throttle full open. You aren't doing that, and so you run on fewer gallons per hour. You may only be loading the engine to 50 hp....
