My 686 has the 312, seems to have plenty of power and it will start down to 15 or so with out being plugged in. Now my 756 with the 310 is a different story, it likes the either or block heater below 50. But once you get it running it gets great fuel ecomomy and has plenty of power. Its the only diesel I've ever been around were you can hear the altinator buzz when its idling its so quiet. As Allen said the german sure has a bellar to it when under load, reminds me of my 706 gas with a straight pipe. As for the german fuel pump you can upgrade to a new Standyne JDB pump kit for about $900 which is sometimes cheaper than rebuilding the german Bosch pump. Makes it better starting but looses some fuel economy. One drawback of the 312 is the price of an overhaul kit $1700 verses $1000 for the 310. If it were me I would grab that 686, they are a sweet tractor and the german is easy to live with once you get to know their quirks.
