Diesels have an injection pump which are mostly trouble free for long periods but when they start to wear, can be expensive to replace or rebuild. Generally diesels can run for many hours trouble free.
With gas, you'll have a carburetor, distributor/points or ignition, and spark plugs. Now and then you'll might have to clean the carb, replace/adjust the ignition (points), and check/replace the plugs -- a little more frequent to maintain but generally less expensive.
Because of high compression (example 16:1 vs. about 9:1 for gas) diesels are harder to start in cold temps and require a strong battery and more powerful starter, and may need help from an engine heater and a small shot of ether to get going. Gas tractors tend to start easier in the cold.
