(quoted from post at 09:12:41 09/19/17) Either I am or a lot of others here are missing the point of this post. They're trying to compare a 50 year old gas engine to a modern diesel engine. I'm of the opinion that a modern built gas engine tractor would have uses. Not out in a field doing heavy tillage work but smaller utility jobs. I don't think it's something that will ever happen, but I wouldn't mind seeing one. Not a gas hog from the 60's but a new reliable tractor. I know there are places a gas tractor could never replace a diesel but I still think there are advantages to a gas tractor. Oh and no more carburetors.
(quoted from post at 17:10:48 09/19/17) I can get off road diesel for $1.99/gal in my 55g drums from my trailer into my garage, and not have it be an explosion liability.
Gasoline doesn't offer a road-tax-free variant, and is $2.79. I can only get little 5gal tanks, which means numerous tedious trips to the gas station, and the fumes could cause an explosion if not properly sealed.
For that reason I own 2 kubota's that are diesel and get much more use out of them than my gas machines. My old craftman lawn mower drank 2 gallons of gas to mow my lawn, where my kubota diesel does it on a half gallon at most.
(quoted from post at 23:20:02 09/19/17) If a brand new 35 horse diesel tractor cost X, I wonder how much cheaper a gas version of the same caliber would cost?
