Many of the newest tractors are no more efficient that some built 40 years ago -for overall use.
Is propane acutally cheaper where you are, then gasoline or diesel?
Not here. Price per gallon or pound is meaningless. All that counts is how many BTUs of energy a dollar buys. A gallon of propane has much less energy then a gallon of diesel or gasoline.
