Believe it or not, when diesel tractors first arrived on the scene in the 40's and 50's, they weren't an instant success. Farmers were leery of anything new. On the other hand, gasoline even then was getting expensive in the larger tractors. LP gas tractors had all the familiar parts (distributor, coil), but were significantly cheaper to operate than gasoline tractors. And they didn't suffer the cold weather starting problems of diesels.

Growing up in eastern Colorado in the seventies, I remember there were still a few old coots who insisted on using LP tractors, even buying new ones.
