The fact that the R is not turbocharged might give it a little advantage on light loads.

I used to pull a six row cultivator with a 1070 Case, which was almost an unnoticeable load. I usually ran half throttle at the most. Then I traded the 1070 for a 1086 IH and when the 1086 pulled the same cultivator it used more fuel per hour. Under a full load was a whole different story, with the non-turbo'd 1070 using about the same amount of fuel to get 108 horses as the turboed 1086 did to get 135 horses. The difference might also have been because they were two different breeds of animal from the ground up instead of just turbo/non-turbo. Jim
