[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 6181, member: 82"] I agree, petrol engines have all their torque in the high end, diesels are around 3,000 RPM which is what the pumps are rated at. A diesel will last approx 2x as long as the diesel fuel is a lubricant that helps keep the engine running smooth. Diesel will run longer on a tank of fuel as diesel has more energy that petrol for the same quantity of fuel. On the other side, diesel engines generally cost more to repair as they have fuel injectors and pumps to worry about. They are harder to start in the cold too. All in all, i'd go the diesel, i feel they are are better suited for skid steers than petrol engines. [/QUOTE]
