Depends on what you want out of it. Some systems do not give any gain in more spark potentional. They just eliminate the maintanence of points. Pertronix Ignitor is one example (not II or III).
Considering how slow tractor engines run - I hardly regard points-maintenance as an issue. Keeps points clean after sitting a long time is more of an issue that a pocket knife quickly fixes.
I don't believe the many stories of tractors running better with electronic. If they do, they weren't right to start with. That is a faulty comparison. To the converse - I can name a few tractors that did not run at all with a failed Pertronix - but came back to life with the old points back in. Yes, another stupid comparison.
Electronic breakerless systems would be great for tractors if they were more mainstream and generic -but they're not. If a part fails - you won't find parts locally - as you would for a car or truck. I had to buy a new breakerless part for my 1979 Datsun last week and NAPA had it in stock. On the other hand if your new 2012 Pertronix dies - you won't find parts to fit an any local store.
