If you're comparing 1960's stuff to late 90's stuff then there's probably close to 20% on some tractors, but that's not universally true. The TB100, without looking at the test would be around 18hp-hr/gal at maximum power which is right up there with the very best. Most tractors from the 60's vintage were in the 12-14 hp-hr/gal range with improvements coming incrementally over the decades. With that said, the best fuel efficiency you'll ever get is by using the smallest possible tractor to do the job to the point that you're not spending more time because you're using a small tractor. If you can do it with 80 hp, don't use 100, or of 50 will do the job, don't use 80, etc... There isn't much point of buying mroe than you need unless you have plans in the near future that require the bigger tractor. Dragging dead weight around burns fuel. That's also a catch with that TB100. IT has great PTO fuel efficeincy, but it's probably not so hot on drawbar efficiency, especially on light work because of the dead weight it's carrying around. It's not a light tractor, and I'm not too sure that the tractordata figures mentioned are correct...
