That's not the price of dyed farm diesel, is it? It's $2.59 right now in my part of New York. I think ULSD is over $4 at the pump though.
Fuel efficiency has a lot to do with how you're going to use the tractor most of the time. Some of the most efficient 70 horse diesel tractors run at around 17 horsepower hours per gallon when worked at 70 horsepower, but drop to 8 1/2 horsepower hours per gallon when only worked at 10 horse.
