Pretty much it the right engine for the application. You get a longer lasting, more efficient, higher torque at a lower RPM engine.
We have a Farmall Super M and a Kubota that are roughly the same HP. The SM will drink gas compared to the Kubota with it's Diesel engine. Diesels are not as easy to work on IMHO where as a gas engine is pretty simple for most shade tree mechanics to tinker with. The principal is simple, but you need more specialized tools and some of the stuff you simply have to send out to be fixed (pumps, injectors etc). Obviously this is all comparing diesels to older carburetor gas tractors, I'm sure if they still made gas tractors they would be more complex these days.
That being said on the smaller tractors I don't see that big a difference. My Farmall A & BN can be worked hard all day and be pretty darn easy on gas. Then again that what happens when your max RPM is 1450.
