“diesel, EMP immune “
how old is the tractor?
I have a 2006 Kubota diesel, I think the last few years they use electronic fuel management so NOT immune to EMP. I would like to hear some discussion on this.

You raise an excellent point.
I suppose a tractor that has EFI or other engine control MCU may NOT be immune to EMP. And, since the long EPA arm of the nanny state now reaches down to farm equipment, most tractor diesels these days have some sort of MCU I’m sure.
But I know for sure MY tractor does not have any electronics in the fuel system.
If you can turn it over, you can start it. If it wants to start, that is. :-)
