Plenty of bigger gas tractors around here for sale, and at cheeeper prices! No one wants them because they are big time gas hogs.Back in early 60’s Deere introduced 4020 and IH 806 in gas and diesel versions, both naturally aspirated. Hard to find gassers at auctions. They just weren’t up to the capabilities of the diesels - except for cold weather starts. I found an old 806 gas on dealer’s used lot last year and was tempted to pull the trigger on it but it would only be useful in temps below zero. The gassers are such dogs when it comes to field work.
No one here considers them dogs for power, not at all.... Power is fine, IF you can afford to feed them and keep them running.
