The problem with ether is that it EXPLODES in the cylinder, where as diesel has a really fast-moving pressure front as it fires. Or, the diesel is like a ball peen hammer, & the ether is like a sledge hammer on your combustion chamber.....

The ether is sometimes needed, but in general just bad for a diesel engine - more wear & shatter forces on the piston, head, & connecting rod.

If you always plug in your tractor, use the summer oil in your tractor. the thicker oil is better for a properly warmed engine. The thinner oils are better for starting when cold, but do not protect the hot engine as well when fully warmed & running under heavy load.

Everything is always a compromise.
