Hello all,
I am thinking about buying my first deisel tractor and I just wanted to know more about them. I know basically how they work, but I am very handy with gas engines. So fill me in if you can. Any advice would be appreciated. I just want to know everything about deisels that would be different than gas. (Other than a different fuel)
Thanks,

I have 2 Kubota diesels both purchased new 30 years agne a B8200 Hydrostatic, the other a L2250 geared, both 4 wheel drive. I was wearing out air cooled lawn tractors in 3-4 years cutting 5 acres of grass and other heavy uses. I have well over 1000 hrs on each and have only replaced a Hydraulic pump on the 2250. I'm looking at a new Z turn unit and would not waste a nickle on a air cooled gas engine now. You'll never go back to gas, if you live long enough to wear it out.
