Propane is a pain in the bu**. Having said that, I own one.
Its just what you get used to I guess. I don't think I'd trade my 4020LP for nothing!! I can't tell you about using more or less fuel, or more or less horse power, I never really paid much attention to it. I bought mine 10 years ago, along with a nurse tank (which doesn't amout to anthing more that a seperate tank for the tractor which is on wheels).
Mine will start anytime...cold or warm. I've never had a problem like I've heard on here in cold weather.
This is the first tractor I"ve ever been around on propane....its kind of scary fueling it...the guy I bought it from told me to vent the vapor off as you fuel it, which I do, and its kind of scary, big black flies will come out of no where and be on the tractor (due to the smell). I have a big pair of pliers to turn the fitting when the tank is full, and I ALWAYS wear a pair of welding gloves when I'd fueling it.
I'd sure buy another one anytime. I've got a D17 Allis and I know where a D17 propane is thats basically junked, and I've been debating about buying it and chaninging mine over....the only thing thats stopping me is that mine is so perfect that I don't want to change it.
You need to find some one thats got a propane tractor and go see them and see what they say...I think its like an individual thing.
Good Luck with what ever you do.

Pop always dreamed of having more acreage out in the country where he could retire and tinker as much as he wanted and often reminisced about his boyhood days on his grandfathers farm in Montecello,
