I do know that the bigger tractors have 450+ horses available. We need
a farmer to give us (more like you ) some actual fuel consumption

It's easy to get some ballpark estimates. If you assume a tractor
speed of 6 mph it will take about 30 hours to do a square mile. At
200 average horsepower that will require about 300 gallons of diesel.
