Propane con: As stated, fueling can be a hassle if not set up with a nurse tank and fill hose. Dangerous if you are not a safety conscious person. Some models are harder to start on propane, however when properly tuned shouldn't start with great difficulty. Takes a little learning to know about liquid/vapor valves and when to use each.

No dried out carburator gaskets as with gasoline, so when the engine starts it does not sputter and die. Nurse tank and hose so you can fill bottles. Propane is in a sealed container so vapors don't leak out of the tank. Fuel does not get old as gasoline does. ---------- Since I've been around LPG tractors for decades if I had a choice I'd opt for the LPG istead of gasoline.
