What you have to worry about is if the tractor had been run for many years with non detergent oil its possible to have a lot of sludge build up in the engine. Switching to detergent oil will start removing that sludge. From what I've heard its possible for the sludge to plug up holes that should have oil flowing through them and then you have a problem. If you know the engine doesn't have a sludge build up then I would make the switch as detergent oil is better oil. If it has a build up then I would play it safe and get the engine cleaned out before switching.
