    How hard is the delete on these tractors?

    Seems like a no brainer.

    What are the advantages of deleting it other than not buying the fluid?

    Depends on which system you are deleting but generally:
    - More power
    - More fuel economy
    - Lower maintenance costs (no DPF to replace after it wears out, no DEF fluid to buy, no crap to replace when it breaks)
    - Simpler to maintain
    - No "no start" penalty box, or broken parts keeping your engine from running

    .. probably other things I'm forgetting.

    S0 what are the downsides?
    - Making bambi sad
    - Stinkier

    How about pros:

    less engine heat (internal and external)
    More engine compartment space
