I think at least part of the answer lies in how you drive it and what you use it for. If you pull a gas tractor very hard your exhaust temperature gets very high. That can cause it to burn valves, pistons, etc. The diesel temperature runs much cooler unless you have the pump turned up too high. This is a bit of a guess but I think most diesel tractors will run twice as many hours before major overhaul as the gas version. The overhaul may cost more but at least it is not as often. I think a 4020 is a very good tractor but it is rare when I hear someone brag on the gas model. I am sure there are some people that really like their 4020 gas. A friend of mine found a good diesel to put in his 4020 gas tractor. I must admit he likes the diesels better.
