Want  cheaper gas to keep the old iron running?
Short of moving to Brazil there are still alternatives.
 
Why wouldn't gas turbine engines work well in tractors or other  equipment 
using fixed governed speed?
Military aircraft boneyards are filled with lots of good old abandoned  
turbojets. The overall economy
might not be too good but fuel cost would go down for the occasional use  of 
the old Allis B with a good
gas turbine engine replacement. I've heard  a gas  turbine will run on anythin
g just slightly more volatile than asphalt.  Allis Chalmers developed a fuel 
cell powered tractor but I don't recall any  tractor manufacturer working on 
the gas turbine idea.   Don't remember  Chrysler making any tractors. 
 
The link below shows a little history and development of gas  turbine engines 
in the auto industry.
 
Where is  really good mad scientest when you need one.   Tesla, Edison, 
Einstein or one of
their ilk could take and Idea like this and run with it.
