As far as I can remember, we've always ran gassers. At least I have, anyway. Dad finally broke down and bought a Deutz loader tractor a couple years ago. It starts ok in the winter, but that usually because he keeps it parked on a hill and rolls it.
Going back, I think if I had been farming in the "good old days" I'd have stayed with the gas burners, too. The main reason would have to be because I can't stand the smell of diesel; it gives me a headache. Secondly, I can work on a gas; diesel not so much. And, my gas burners start mighty good when it's 5 degrees out. Dads Deutz don't care for the cold, same as a lot of other guy's NH's and JD's locally. Finally, if I already had a gas tractor (or two, like I do now) I'd hate to have to have something that used different fuel. Just too much hassle.
That being said, it looks like I'm going to finally have to make the switch. Been looking for a small loader tractor, just enough to move 4x5 round bales and fix the driveway, etc. Unfortunately, finding a gas tractor with a loader in this area is proving somewhat difficult. They evidently have all gone to Mexico, or the scrap yard. So I guess if I really want a loader tractor, I'll either have to wait on a gas burner, or "settle" for a diesel. My preference would be to stay with gas, for the reasons I stated.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
