The JD 1530 are a good 45 hp utility tractor. They are like all of the JD of that age. They will not start under about 30 without help. I would be real careful if you use either in a 1530. You can bend a connecting rod very easy. I used to get a few each year when they where used more.
Things to do to help/solve th starting in cold weather. 1) Run two separate positive and negative battery cable right to the starter. The factory ones that share two ends on one cable or the original that put on under the clamp bolt are not heavy enough. The cables are not very long. I run the two positive right to the starter solenoid. Then the two grounds to one of the starter mounting bolts. It will make the tractor crank twice as fast.
2) Put a tank style engine coolant heater on the block. USe at least a 1000watt one. You can then start them to 30 below without any issue. There used to be a complete kit available thru John Deere that had all of the fittings and hoses already in it. The complete kit is not available any more but it is just a few pipe fitting and a tank heater. You can get the heaters at most farm stores: TSC, Farm & Fleet.
I would not be afraid of a JD 1530 for what you are wanting to do.

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
