Still you can buy several years of supply of gasoline for the premium cost of a diesel 4020 and the gas tractor will do as much work per hour. And the gas tractor starts easier in cold weather. Besides which the gas tractor can run on propane or methane from a digester or ethanol from a grain still. Granted a diesel can run on soy biodiesel, but when I bought my gas 4020 8 or more years ago, soy biodiesel wasn't publically available. I know how to tune a gas engine and my 4020 responded well to a good tune up and I've learned that the governor ring of the original 4020 diesel injection pump has failed in most, leading to a $500 rebuild bill that will buy a whole heap of plugs, points, and wires for my gas 4020. The used equipment dealer I bought my gas 4020 from claimed it came from an old timer who decided he wanted to have a diesel just because. It did need considerable tuning but the price was reasonable and it works as hard as I need it to work. Gerald J.
