Sure, gassers/petrol engines do use more fuel per hour, i like your point about that they will start no matter how cold it is. Diesel engines seem to do more hours before needing a rebuild.Old machines may seem like a waste of money to some, but to others it's money well soent. Sure, some may feel the money spent on it isn't worth it, but if you get a machine and repair it your self, you know it's done right and it will potentially out last you.Say you buy an older machine for 4k, spend another 4k to repair it and everything is spot on, you have an 8k machine that is is top shape. Or you could spend 8k on a newer machine that may have issues you missed and it could cost you 4k to repair too. Where do you draw the line?The older machines have the advantage of no computers to worry about, simple wiring, generally easier to repair.</blockquote>
