Well since you brought it up,Gas was a thing of the past for a good reason (talking about heavy equipment),and I suppose it still has it's place to those who are still living in 20th century and think that diesels won't start in winter or are completely impossible to repair.BUT lets be honest,direct injecion diesels start just as good as gas motors in cold weather.My old 1966 massey ferguson backhoe with a perkins ad3.152 DIRECT INJECTION DIESEL and who knows how many hours,has Never failed to start in freezing weather left in a open side barn,with no block heater or glow plugs always starts by the 4th revolution at the most.My point is,that those who think they can't get an old tractor (60s and earlier) with a diesel that cold starts reliably has their head in the sand,and even more so when talking about newer tractors.Same goes for working on diesels.They only need air,fuel,and compression,not that comlicated!think of it this way,on a gasser,you need to give it a tune up every couple years,you just change the fuel filter(s) every other oil changeThere is absolutely no replacement for the increased power,lugging ability,very modest fuel usage,and the undeniable fact that while they make more power,and more torque,they run at half the rpm,which means they last twice as long!
