A Diesel tractor is better than the gasoline tractor. There are many reasons for the same.
1) The diesel engine does not have parts which can easily exhaust or give problems. The diesel engines even after a long time can easily start, but the gasoline engine is difficult to start after a long period of time.
2) The diesel in most cases is water cooled and this allows the engine to run more smoothly in a cooler temperature and increases the life of the engine. The diesel engine can run a longer miles and hours without giving any trouble.
3) Diesel engines are more powerful. The gas engines are quick to start but they cannot match the power of the diesel engines.
4) The diesel engines have many attachments. The tractor can be equipped with many things whereas the gas engine cannot match the power with the attachments.
5) The blades and the scoop attachments do not work with the gas tractors. The gas engine is belt driven and will not pull as much load as a diesel engine. The box blade or tiller also does not work with the gasoline tractor.

Porsche manufacturers of the finest cars, when entered into the race, they surprised the world with their performances. Participating in Formula one did not get good results as they got only one win during the 1961-1962 races. They participated as a constructor and won only one race which was by Dan Gurney at the 1962 French Grand Prix.
The non championship race also was claimed by Porsche but at the end of the season they retired citing the reason of high costs. Again in 1983 they returned to Formula 1 which was by delivering engines to McLaren Team. This time they were a bit more successful as the Porsche engined cars won two constructor championships in 1984 and 1985 and the drivers crown in 1984, 1985 and 1986.
Again, less than a decade later they returned as an engine supplier to the Formula 1. This was a disaster for Porsche as they did not score a point but some races they failed to qualify. Since then, the Porsche has not participate in Formula 1.
Although, the Porsche lightly modified engines participates in many amateur competitions. The only professional category they participate is in Porsche Michelin Super Cup which is a support category for European Formula 1 rounds.
