Not sure what exactly your "case" is? I stated over and over, that diesels in general are more efficient then gas, and diesel fuel is cheaper then gasoline fuel - when you figure what your dollar buys in BTUs. I don't think anybody stated anything to the contrary. Not all diesel tractors are more efficint then all gas tractors, but most are. Also, depending on what somebody wants a tractor for - a gas tractor could suit them better. Many non-mechanics get along better with gas tractors simply because gas engines follow certain "rules" that gas cars and trucks do. People with no diesel experience buying diesel tractors for the first time often get in trouble - unless they really take the time to learn a few things that make diesel engines and diesel fuel different. Especially in severe cold weather use.
Somebody at the beginning of all this - asked about what some of the pros and cons are . . for gas and diesels. Since them, some people have tried to answer that question - as asked.
One thing I know for sure - and have seen first hand as a long-time diesel mechanic. Very few "mechanics" know how to work on diesel components. To the converse, many of them CAN work on gas engine components. That lack of skill adds to the extra expense of repairing diesels and sending stuff out to get repaired.
