Oil changes are definitely less, it stays super clean a long time, exhaust fumes are pleasant compared to gas or diesel, excellent for indoor use. 850 for with 172 4 cyl., seems to have every bit as much power as a gasoline powered 172 4 cyl., it certainly does everything just the same as the gasoline version 4000 we had.
Refueling, if you are running a lot, might need to get set up with tanks at your location and have something on running gear or similar to refuel in the field, depends on the run time on the tank. Mine has 30 lb forklift tanks, so I just carry a spare and put it in the hedgerow, the tractor will always run out at the farthest point from where I put it !
Cold weather starts, I tried mine yesterday, too cold, no go, there seems to be a certain temperature where the fuel does not vaporize, think on the factory set up LP models you can start em off on vapor only and switch over, mine has an Impco vaporizor, once the coolant warms up, cold weather is not a problem, getting it started is, also think some heat and a makeshift enclosure might solve that. My friend uses a heater connected to a 20 lb tank to warm the engine compartment up.
Although that hood mounted tank is not the most pleasing thing to look at, you get used to it, if it's a working tractor, you'll soon forget it's there, no one wanted this tired 850, was for sale quite awhile, might not have been just the LP thing scaring them away, I fixed and repaired quite a bit and ironically, I've gotten 5 years of good service from it, it's a tough old tractor just like most from those years.
