I guess that's it in a nutshell. A 3 horse chunk of iron on a steel wheel cart... with a flywheel that weighs about 3/4 ton, and it can throw silage further than the tallest silo. Put a 100 horse tractor on the same blower, barely does the same thing. Put a 3/4 ton flywheel on that tractor- now ya might have something impressive! My personal theory on diesels is along the same line- I figure as the exhaust valve opens on either gas or oil- the diesel doesn't have a distributor rotor slowly trying to get to the next spark plug wire.... when it can't make it in time...and stalls- the gas engine is call inferior... a big enough flywheel on the gasser, and she would hit every time.... just like her diesel twin....

Put a carb on a diesel see how that goes....
