I have a JD 2020 Gas Tractor. Could someone tell me if it is OK to run Unleaded fuel in this tractor or do I need to put an additive in to use Unleaded gas. Also I am trying to determine the octane level of gas to buy. The manual lists two octane numbers, the motor and research. But I don't see either one listed at the pump. Should I be running a higher octane gas to get the tractor to start the easiest and run the best. Thanks

The octane numbers at the pump are the "R"esearch
+ the "M"otor number/2 (R+M/2). Sort of an average.

Higher octane gas protects high-compression, or hard-working, HOT-running engines from destructive "pre-ignition" or "detonation".

Higher octane gas DOES NOT make for "easier starting".

That tractor likely has hardened valves and seats, and so long as the gas you use meets the minumum octane requirements in the owner's manual, you should be OK without any added "snake oil".
