Id go diesel. They cost more upfront in parts but last longer in the end. Im not certain but pretty sure diesel is a better puller just by the way they are made. How many rigs you see with gas. I only see diesel (and I used to work a truck wash hehe) Ive washed thousands of them. Milage asside rigs need the strength at the start of pull, lots of it to get moving. They also need to be real tough and do lots of work between maintenence intervals.

Questions Id ask for a pulling tractor. Which engine weighs more (Im not sure). Which has more tourqe at low rpms, which has the better HP and tourqe curve over the rpm range. These you need a dyno reading to really know. Lots of specualation and rumours out there. can cut through all of it with access to dyno or old dyno tests that are already done. check the manucaturer docs, they maybe there.

Im sure one the of tractor experts will know this already and have a answer for you. But if they dont see your post, I figured Id give what little advice I could.
