6.4 problems?

I am looking at buying a 2010 f-350 with the 6.4 diesel. I own a small landscape company in Michigan and want it to pull the trailers and haul dirt and stuff. I have read a lot about the problems with them if you drive a lot of around town stuff, idling, and that building up soot. Can you fellas help me make this decision?

The 6.4 has more than enough power to do what you want but if your talking about moving lawn mowers around from house to house I would say no. In it's stock form shorts trips are not high on the list the 6.4 is good for.
