I was looking on the Nebraska Test site at the 706 gas and diesel. Turns out the gas is almost the same hp-hrs/ gal as the diesel - 13.19 to 13.16 at pto speed and 13.15 to 12.86. The varring load tests are also similar, probably within 10-15%. If gas is cheaper than diesel, the only drawback would be keeping it tuned which would be very important for a large gas tractor.
Here is the link to the nebraska tests which are a lot better than an opinion where consumption or load is not measured all that accurately.

I am a little partial to Cockshutt's my self, but I do much enjoy IH also.
