I sell commercial trucks for a living. Lots of professional fleets are switching to gas, it's simply up for the job. For an example, the 2017 F150 3.5 turbo motor is going to have 470 torque at 3k RPM. That's nearly in line with my 2000 F550 7.3. The SD trucks have a 6.2 and a 6 speed transmission that really does a great job. IMO the 2017 F250 is worth the wait for (you can order one now), but if you want the heavier transmission you can get a F350 (and even get a payload downgrade package to 10k if that's a concern of yours).
That being said, the diesel trucks are awesome. They just aren't worth the cost unless you actually need them. $7k for the motor, double the maintenance expense (based on dealer cost of prepaid maintenance out to 125k), and higher fuel cost. Also, out of warranty, it's not hard to spend $10k on a repair (though its less common than a few years ago).

For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
