If you specialize in something chances are you will get it right. As several people said below, MM just got propane right. It was their niche and their engineers spent a lot of time on getting engines to perform on LP. Another thing that has not been mentioned yet is that MM built LOTS of LP stationary engines and they were on irrigation units everywhere. To be successful with stationary engines, you need something that will run for days and weeks on end with little service and MM LP (and NG) engines filled those needs. As someone who owns and farms with MM propane tractors and own a JD 630 on propane, MM knew how to get LP right and JD didn't. When I was working the 630 hard it was OK but it was much harder starting than the MM's and was never as efficient when used on lighter loads. Fuel cost still comes into play even today which is why I still use LP today. I do own a White 2-105 with a Perkins diesel but probably 80% of the time the LP tractors run cheaper.
