Everyone,
I currently have a '68 3020 Gas narrow front. I am looking to purchase a second tractor (wide front with loader) and am seeing that gas tractors seem kinda rare.
So, would it be bad for a diesel noobie like me to get a diesel tractor?
I've never started a diesel. I've never drove a diesel. I grew up with Allis Chalmers WD45's, so even though I am far from a mechanic, I at least know what a carb is. Diesels on the other hand, no experience what so ever. Do diesels even start in the winter? Yet, I've heard that diesel tractor engines are much ... sturdier ... hardier ... last longer.
So, would you advise me to keep looking for another gas tractor, or are they not so different that I would be happy with a diesel?
