At full power they were not any more economical. Perhaps a bit less so statistically.... What one ought to realize is that while the fords were tested for power at rated engine speed their rate PTO speed is generally several hundred rpm less than rated engine speed. They do make a bit less than rated power at PTO speed... but running a Ford at 18-1900 rpm saves a considerable amount of fuel over running it at rated engine speed. The Deere's often had their rated PTO at rated engine speed so they made full power at 540... but then you've got to run them full tilt to keep up their speed... so they burn the fuel... and they don't have the torque to throttle back anyway. That's why you continously see anectdotal evidence of Ford's that burn a lot less fuel than Deere's....

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
