"Gasoline" is not just one, but several hydrocarbon compounds. Winter gasoline is blended from hydrocarbons that are more volatile, meaning they evaporate easier. The colder temperatures slow down evaporation, allowing the use of the more volatile compounds. These compounds are also cheaper, which is why winter blend gasoline tends to be less expensive than summer (unless I'm confusing things, then it's the other way 'round).
If "rec" gasoline is the same as our "no ethanol" gasoline, the only reason to use it is if you're not going to use the machine enough to consume the gasoline you put in, in a reasonable time. Using the tractor regularly though summer, "regular" is fine. Storing the tractor through the winter, "rec/no ethanol" gas with a suitable fuel stabilizer is recommended, or just empty the tank and carburetor.
Diesel fuel, the only difference between on-road and off-road is the taxes. Put off-road gas in your truck, and the DOT will appear out of the woodwork and "dip" your tank, then proceed to fine you a very large amount of money.
