Once again ol'bubba trots out his opinion in an apples and oranges comparison. Lets see, a mid sized 2WD rowcrop tractor vs. a large articulated 4X4 tractor. Another thing bubba doesn't know either is. All other factors identical, a single large machine is more efficient than a smaller machine which works at a lower efficiency of scale.
Smaller Deere 4440, 12.66HP per gallon per hr. Larger Case 2870, 13.00HP per gallon per hour. Quote" 4440 series deeres drank fuel as if through a floodgate! A 300hp 2870 Case 4x4 took less gals. per hr than a 4440. Glad I am not feeding one those pigs" Unquote.
Foodgate? Pigs? Odd choice of words to describe the over matched underdog that nearly equaled the Case anyways. The 4440 today is certainly worth more than the Case and a more user friendly machine.
Getting into an apples to apples comparison of a Deere 8640 vs. the Case 2870. The Deere is the hands down WINNER in fuel efficiency with 15.9HP per gallon per hour vs. the Case floodgate fuel hog with only 13.00HP per gallon per hour. How's that? b.t.w. how is trade in value of the Case 2870 vs. the Deere 8640? How are the ears from riding in the quieter Deere cab?
