When butane was available and prices cheap years ago it could be competitive and efficient for tractors somewhat. Today no because of propane prices it will probably cost you more to run it in a tractor. Most didn't have that large of tanks so during a long day you may be refilling 3 or 4 times at least and that is lost time covering acres and if was custom work money and lost time. For on road vehicles it's a different story and can make a stop start vehicle engine last much longer and be a little more efficient but you aren't pulling as much of a load for lugging hp like a tractor plus a much cleaner burning fuel. For stationary engines could be a trade off either way depending on engine size, load, and use or what other resources are available. Sometimes it's not feasible to pay for running a long natural gas pipe line to just one engine in stationary use. For more LPG info at link scroll down in left column to principles, terms, & facts.
