ENGINES OVERVIEW
The Minneapolis-Moline G1050 tractor features an 8.3L 6-cylinder diesel engine, providing substantial torque for heavy-duty operations, and an LP gas variant that offers cleaner emissions and lower fuel costs. The diesel model excels in fuel efficiency and longevity, whereas the LP gas option enhances performance in warmer climates by minimizing cold-start issues. Be aware that diesel maintenance may require more rigorous schedules and additional emissions controls compared to LP gas systems, which could impact operational downtime.
