With everything I read about how much more expensive the new diesels are, how it is not good to run them for short periods of time, and the expense of things break, are any of the brands going to start offering gas powered tractors again in the 50 hp range?
With all the advancements in fuel injection and turbocharging, a gas engine could perform very well in a tractor, particularly for a home owner. They can produce a lot of torque with turbos and be EPA friendly while hopefully being cheaper.
I know it will use more fuel, but there are times I go a few months before fueling my 110 tlb. I had an older Ford 3500 with the 3 cyl gas and never had any complaints with it being gas.
