It really depends on where you live and the diesel supplier you use. Years ago there was only high sulfur diesel. To reduce emissions they started making low sulfur diesel but only required its use in road trucks. So now high sulfur can only be used off road so it is always dyed red. Since this requires another tank to store fuel for the supplier and manufacture some only stock low sulfur because it can be used on or off road. In fact I know of many farmers that order dyed low sulfur diesel because they do not like to use high sulfur. In the future there may only be low sulfur as the trend is headed that way. So now your question may have many answers.
It would be bad to use clear road diesel in your tractor because of the road tax you will have to pay. But if you did not want to use high sulfur off road diesel you may be able to find dyed low sulfur. Dyed low sulfur is road diesel that has been dyed to show no tax has been paid on it. In fact you may already be buying it and not know it. The bill may say high sulfur but that does not mean anything because of the way the law reads on the subject. You would need to talk to the owner where you buy fuel. He may not even know if it is a small place but he can give you the number to his jobber and this guy can tell you where you can get dyed low sulfur or if you are already buying it.
