I would think that they deliberately left it out because of the increased fuel consumption of the Tier-3 emissions qualified engines. If you had an older machine and knew what the fuel consumption was, and now traded-up to a new machine and your getting a 25% increase in fuel consumption to do the same work, you are not going to be very happy about it. You'll probably complain to your dealer and they will complain to AGCO. Unfortunately AGCO and the other majors can't do anything about the EPA regulations. So they chose to not make the information readily available in hopes that you wouldn't notice it. This is just one more example of the "ill"-LOGIG that the EPA uses. More hydrocarbon use to decrease emissions. I am just too uneducated to understand that one.
