It will be some time before the Nebraska Test info (done in Japan) becomes available for the Kubota 7040. However, the Nebraska Test info on the Kubota M6800 is available. Same engine, basically the same tractor. I happen to have an M6800 and the hardest job I give it is pulling a three shank Brillion subsoiler 18" deep in third gear and 1900 RPM. After doing this every fall for six years the tractor uses exactly 2.22222 gallons of premium diesel fuel per hour every time. The tractor has averaged 1.33 gal per hour since I've owned it. One advantage of the Kubota line is that they are lighter than the JD, NH, CIHs, etc. and will burn less fuel doing the lighter jobs. You can always make them heavier when needed. For example, I leave the loader on when doing the heavier pulling jobs and throw field rocks in it that turn up as I go along. I'm right up around the 125 lbs per HP then and it works out fine.
