I would like to know your sources for your information.
I have a propane tractor. It was originally a gas and was converted to LP by the original owner who lives up the road. It was their main working tractor at one time. It is very efficient to run and has the same power as a comparable gas tractor.
It is true that most of the factory LP tractors had a little less rated horse power than the factory gas tractors.
Here are my experiences from using my LP tractor and using a non lp, smaller gas tractor: A 30 lb LP cylinder loaded into my tractor (which is 7 gallons of LP) will last longer and do more work than using 7 gallons of gas in another tractor that I own that is a smaller tractor and doesn't do as much or as heavy of work. Around here,northeast Iowa, LP is cheaper than gas or diesel.
Biggest draw back to using LP is that it does take some special equipment to handle it and specialized equipment on the tractor to use it. LP burns clean and an LP tractor will start right up in the winter. I would buy another LP tractor in a heartbeat.
