Well, If you scan through a few thousand threads of people looking for help with their old tractor, Probably 2/3 of them will be for gasoline engine starting problems, and I bet that 2/3 of those would be for ignition or carburetor problems, both of which you eliminate with a diesel. There is enough reason for me right there to look for a used compact diesel. I am a Ford guy, but I have had a Kubota along with the Fords for the past 33 years. My 2001 is 30 HP, and while it doesn't have quite the weight or power of an 841, it would be adequate for your friend's needs. A few people will complain of diesel smell. My Kubota does not smell. Some people will warn of hard starting with a diesel. My Kubota has never had any help to start in the winter, and it is my snow removal tractor. Some guys will warn of the cost of injection pump repair, yet the liklihood of needing it for a compact diesel with less than 10,000 hours is minimal. The best thing about them is cost of ownership. My first one lost only 10% of its value in 12 years, so financing one makes much more sense than financing a car or truck.
