JED, I have held off on commenting on this on all day!. LP was a cheap fuel that became popular in the late 40s early 50s. It is a by-product in the making of gasoline. HOW cheap,-- about .05/gal, way less than gasoline! and farming is all about the bottom, line.
So the tractor companies built to the farmers who wanted them.
A by product is engine longivity. Little to no wear as compared to gasoline. As LP is a dry fuel and gas is a wet fuel.
Yes, LP tractors are somewhat different than gasoline counterparts. BUT only in the area of fuel delivery and carbiration. Other than that It is exactly the same as a gasser.
Lp is safer than gasoline, not as volitile as gas. You cannot pour 5 gal out of a can into the tank like a gasser. The fuel is under pressure all the time. And that is what seems to confound most folks.
I still prefer an LP over a gasser ANY day.
I have logged thousands of hours on a 4020 LP PS.
And have worn out 4 different pickups on LP. Well over 150K on each.
I prefer those of ya'll that don't like LPs just keep on not likeing them. Leaves more tractors for those of us who DO. LOL! Ya'll have fun!
Later,
John A.
