SisuDiesel engines. In practice, the Valtra N111 EcoPower model means significantly lower workhour costs, environmental friendliness and low
emissions. An added benefit is the reduction in engine noise by 4-5 decibels.

Engine wear and economy are two totally different things. Slower motion definitely decreases the energy required to move the parts around. I'd like to see the proof here of extended engine life.
