That's quite a few hours a year for a tractor, by no means impossible but most don't get half that many. In a 70hp tractor the best I ever got when using was about 3 gallons per hour on gas. in a diesel I usually use about 2 gallons an hour for the same use. That varies by tractor of course. Around here at today's price, gasoline is $2.09 a gallon. Off road diesel is $1.75. Based on what I know, for 1000 hours use a gas tractor would cost $6270 in fuel. A diesel would cost $3500. I've only got 1 gas tractor left and it's for sale. For no other reason than I can store diesel for a year or longer. In the summer months gas starts taking on moisture in a couple of months. If you are using your's that many hours that probably wouldn't be a concern.
