We have both gas and diesel as well as an LP gas. If a diesel engine has fuel and cranks over it will start, gas engines have about a thousand variables that can cause them not to run. We change fuel filters on all of our tractors once a year as well as the coolant filters on the diesels. A good engine heater will solve the cold weather starting problems you might have with older diesels but when it is 10* or colder out I think any engine should be plugged in to avoid damage. Maintance might cost a little more on diesels but there is less of it so I would call that a wash. We have put almost 50,000 hours on the diesel tractor we have now and have only had to work on 2 injector pumps, one of which was due to not being set right from the factory. Our gas tractors still have their place but it is doing light work and only a few hundred hours a year.
