The reason engines consume more propane per hour is because it has less BTU per gallon than the more popular fuels. As a teen I helped an uncle some with farming back in the 50-60's who had two LA Case tractors. When doing tillage work we always took the tractors back to the farm at noon to re-fuel because they wouldn't run all day on one 42 gallon propane tank. He had mentioned that they were clean burning but the problem with that was that burned valves were pretty common because the dry propane didn't keep the valves lubricated. A neighbor had a couple of wheat trucks in the 50-60's that ran on both propane and gasoline. A neighbor I worked for a couple of years also ran propane tractors; MM model U.

I have a propane JD 730 that starts really good but I don't run it in the winter so can't attest to how well it would start in the cold weather.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
