Are all farm tractors powered by diesel engines?

No, not all farm tractors are powered by diesel engines. While diesel engines are very common in farm tractors due to their efficiency and power, there are also tractors powered by:

* Gasoline engines: These are more common in smaller, lighter tractors used for lighter tasks and in residential settings.

* Electric motors: Electric tractors are becoming increasingly popular due to their environmental friendliness and potential for automation.

* Biofuel engines: Some tractors are powered by biofuels like ethanol or biodiesel, offering a more sustainable option.

* Propane engines: Propane offers a cleaner burning alternative to gasoline and diesel, though it is not as common.

So, while diesel engines are a dominant force in the farm tractor market, other engine types are also available to meet different needs and preferences.
