tis true what you say. That Deere engine is most efficient at full power. The sad part is that it'll probably spend most of it's life at a good deal less than full power where it's not one little bit efficient, which is why there's a half dozen other color engines that will stomp all over it for mid range efficiency. At the end of the day nobidy cares how may hp-hr/gal the thing put out. They care about how many gal/hour it burnt, or how much it burnt for the job. If somebody's style is to run around at half load, they're gonna burn a lot of fuel with the Deere... which is about the way it is around here.
One guy I know fairly well has a 2840 that he bought to replace a Ford 8000. Doing the same work the Deere burns half as much fuel again as the 8000.... Now put the 8000 at 2200 and make it work, it'll likely burn a lot more fuel, and mabey be less efficient. Just depends on where they were designed to be efficient.
That said, there's no substitute for having the right size tractor for the job...
