There is one point that I didn't see in the postings.

Diesel runs much cooler than gas. So, if you are really putting the wood to it, the gas engine has a higher chance of overheating than the diesel engine. This can become apparent when bush hogging or doing any other dusty operation where the fins in the radiator get clogged up a bit. It has a bigger affect on the gas engine than on the diesel.

Diesels are also harder to start in real cold weather and take longer to warm up.

I would also be curious as to what percentage of diesel tractors catch fire as compared to gas tractors? I have seen a few burned up old fords at the junk yard and they all were gas.
