Yep, it was in the mid 80's again today but I didn't see the high yet.
My A-C tractors tend to stall when the clutch is engaged until they warm up
well. Every tractor I've ever owned is/was gas but I've operated a lot of
diesel tractors and trucks and overall diesel is better but they both have
their
quirks.

89! Charlie ,I don't think I even saw that in the heat of summer here
last year. Yesterday's high of 30 degrees was a bit below normal even
for us.
I guess gas and or diesel tractors both have their problems. Overall I'd
have to say I prefer the little Massey for chores as that diesel engine
is so economical and smooth. The old gas Cockshutt 40 still has that
annoying stalling problem every time I engage the clutch but it is the
only one that will start at 0 degrees without a block heater.
