Nobody was impared when the crane incident occurred and your reference to it is a rather cheap distraction from the facts. Almost as sleezy as your hiding behind a guest posting.
I was going to give you credit for knowing the difference between light, medium and HD power applications. And the graduated introduction of Tier III and Tier IV emissions. Plus the timeline enforcing the regulations across the HP divisions. I"m doubting now of you know or care.
However you are more concerned about your hurt feelings that somebody doesn"t agree. That diesel always has the advantage . Those days are gone thanks to the EPA and fuel pricing.
Don"t blame me, I didn"t regulate the diesel into what it is today. There was a time when the diesel ruled and gasoline, LP and natural gas were a distant. 2nd, 3rd and 4 th choice.
Move with the times. I recall stories of old timers who figured the horse would never be replaced by the tractor or car. Regular people would never take a casual airplane flight for a vacation. Some said the radio, electricity, TV and Internet would never catch on. Some lived the rest of their lives stubbornly stuck while technology moved ahead.
So stick with your EPA choked light diesel and over priced fuel if you want.
The under 25HP equipment market has manufactures having to make some diesel or direct injection gas choices.
If it wasn"t for the inertia of introducing diesel and all it"s advantages from the 50"s to the 80"s . There would be a faster swing back to gasoline now.
Long term price of fuel will drive the market . Will North America start pricing diesel like Europe or continue current over priced policy?
If it wasn"t for policy for decades of cheaper European , south American, Asian and Australian diesel vs. gasoline. Light diesel highway applications would be rare anywhere in the world.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit ... [Read Article]
