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.
