Keep this in mind...any tractor of the size you are thinking about - and bigger - will have the Tier IV emissions system on the engine if it is newer than 2014. That means having to avoid running the engine at low rpms for any length of time. The engine, whether it has a diesel particulate filter or catalyst type emissions control on it, needs to run HOT to keep it healthy.
Not so with an older diesel. Why I use my old John Deere more than my Kubota. For little jobs where the engine will be running a lot at idle or a little above, no emissions system to load up with diesel particulates.
