One thing to consider are maintenance costs. A tractor used infrequently is cheaper in gas because all the maintenance costs are less. If you put a lot of hours on them though, even though the maintenance costs of a diesel are higher, you save in fuel costs and the costs per hour of use.
Someone (some ag extension??) estimated if you use a tractor less than ~100 hours/year, gas is cheaper. Mine is gas and I wish I had the torque of a diesel, but i don't use it enough to justify the upfront costs.
