Dean, I grew up on a dairy in northern Indiana. I had a lot of seat time on diesel tractors, 50-60's. I don't know why, but today I can't get within 100 feet of a diesel without instantly getting a headache. If a smoking diesel truck passes me, I have to get on the brakes and put distance between me and the smoke.
So, I'm glad the EPA is cleaning up my air. Even the cops are handing out tickets to some for excessive black smoke. Consider yourself lucky if you don't get a headache.
I would love to buy a new small tractor that wasn't diesel. Instead I have to use antique tractors. Which I don't mind. Love my mother's old farmall C and Jubilee. When I was looking for a sub-compact backhoe the only gas ones were allmond and terramite. So I settled for a terramite.
I know this isn't popular to say, but I'm glad the EPA is cleaning up diesels and hope some small engines go back to gas. Then I might even buy a Kubota.
Before I get kicked un the rear, I know others who can't get close to diesels without getting a headache too.

We had a mixed farm consisting of grain and dairy all done with old machinery and by hand. My dad had a tractor, a Farmall A which was used mostly to run the thrashing machine, a seed drill and for plowing. I remember locals used to help each other and threshing was done from daylight to after dark, one farm to another until all farms were done.
