I am not aware of any gas farm tractor available on the market today that is brand new. Could gas tractors make a comeback, possibly. In the farm tractor market, most commercial farms have really little need for new tractors under 100 horse power. Not that large HP gas engines are not possible to build, the life span of a 200-300hp engine in a tractor, or 500hp engine in a combined or forage harvest would not be as long as the diesels we have now. Not only do the emissions systems make new equipment more expensive to repair but everything from the air intake , engine rpm through to the transmission is controlled by computer software. Silly little things like a oil sensor will stop a modern engine from starting. If the sending unit fails to send the message to the computer that controls the fuel pump, that there is oil pressure being created when the engine starter cranks the engine over, the computer will not turn on the fuel supply to start the engine. Now how the heck can a farmer that is ready to go plant corn, and cant get his tractor to start, figure out that his oil sending unit has failed? Our modern equipment is great when its new out of the box, but how many new out of the box tractors do we have? And how long will manufacturers support the technical equipment that make these tractors run? This is why I like to keep some old stuff around, it works!!
