I would agree, engine stays clean, oil stays clean a long time, extended change intervals are fine with these, cold weather can be an issue, depends on your set up. Engine wear is much less, they do last a lot longer given the above.
The biggest concern is refueling, I'm on my 12th year with a LP ford 850, its set up for common 30lb forklift type LP tanks, you'll get 4-5 hour run time out of one tank. I refill at a local place and haul them home its less then 2 miles away, ideally, just have enough tanks on hand and have them filled, works well, I only use 2. If I could buy in bulk and have a nurse tank etc, I'd save money on fuel, when I first got this tractor, it was like $12 a tank, now its $30 + or -, it was a savings over gas, not anymore, unless you can get bulk, retailers who refill tanks, get the same or more than gasoline or so it seems to me locally.
