I think at least part of the answer lies in how you drive it and
what you use it for. If you pull a gas tractor very hard your
exhaust temperature gets very high. That can cause it to burn
valves, pistons, etc. The diesel temperature runs much cooler
unless you have the pump turned up too high. This is a bit of a
guess but I think most diesel tractors will run twice as many
hours before major overhaul as the gas version. The overhaul
may cost more but at least it is not as often. I think a 4020 is a
very good tractor but it is rare when I hear someone brag on the
gas model. I am sure there are some people that really like their
4020 gas. A friend of mine found a good diesel to put in his
4020 gas tractor. I must admit he likes the diesels better.
