I cannot add anything much beyond what buickanddeere has already said. I had an all fuel until someone who wanted it worse than I did made an offer. Yes it will use diesel fuel as an energy source but it needs those spark plugs as it is not a compression ignition engine.
If you use it a bunch you might want to shop around for the cheapest fuel you can put in it. If you use it the way I did to do odd jobs that needed a heavy tractor you might just find that although it will burn diesel it is just easier and it runs just as good as if not better on gasoline. Don"t let anyone tell you that you will lose horsepower with gasoline, you won"t find it to be so. Options to run other fuels was for economy and necessity.
If you want a true diesel in a 2 cylinder JD all-purpose or row crop configuration I think you will have to look for a 70D, 720D, or 730D.
