Casey: With a 282 diesel in either 560, 656 or 706, it's 30 seconds after lunch in summer, 45 to 60 on the first start of the day. Winter can be as much as 3 to 5 min. It takes good batteries and excellent cables. You do that and if all other components are working well, it will fire up with the best of them, and indeed as quick as any gas engine in warm weather.

In winter with any temps below 10F you will need a block heater. The 282 responds well to the circulating tank type heater. Just behind the injection there is a block drain, hook the heater between that and one of the ports on the head. The ones with recessed plug for using 1/2" drive for removal.

There are several wattages of these heaters. If you are starting every day 500 watt is best. I rarely ran my 560 and 656 in winter so I used 1500 watt. 2 hours before I wanted to use tractor I would plug it in, even at -30F.

Good old diesels, just part of the evolution from gas start and pup start then these and on to direct injection. Caterpillar used much the same system after they stopped using pups.
