Gas or Diesel? From my perspective it would depend on what you want a loader tractor for. A gas tractor in my neck of the woods, even antique, has generally seen a lot less hours and the hours are a lot easier.... than a comparable diesel. If you are a part time farmer and expect to use it as a chore tractor, cleaning, feeding, moving supplies..and it will run for an hour or two per day... I would consider a diesel. Because, a cold gas job idling will sure suck up the fuel. Get a diesel with a block heater or radiator hose type heater and buy yourself a power circuit timer to heat it up 30 -60 minutes before trying to start it. Newer diesels have starting aids built right into them, starting with an ether starting aid, glow plug in the intake and the more advanced use a thermostarter. As the man says, keep clean fuel in the diesels and remember to drain the water from the bowl and try not to use cans to fuel the diesel... great way to introduce dirt into the fuel system..
