I love the Perkins 152 three-bangers and also the common British format of hi-low range transmission. I often wonder why USA tractors did not adopt it sooner. I assume that's why Ford brought their British stuff over here to "redo" the 1000 series mid-1960s.
That being said, Deere's 152 three-banger is just as good of engine as the Perkins, but the USA versions have inferior injection pumps.
My only non-diesel sentiments are for someone who wants to do his/her own work and does not know anything about diesels. They can be a huge money pit if you can't fix yourself, or know somebody that can. There's a heck of a lot more people around that can keep a gas engine going, but are clueless with diesels. Many can change spark plugs and pull a carburetor apart, but don't dare try to repair an injector or pull a injector pump apart. With a diesel, what ought to be a $25 repair often winds up being a $1000 repair if you don't do the work yourself.
