I have a newer Branson utility tractor that I use for taking care of my small hobby farm. So far zero problems with it after nine years of service. Starts great in the cold even though I never plug it in and preheat it. During the summer it is used for mowing and loader work cleaning pens and gets good and hot and runs for a hours at a time. During the winter it sees less action unless it snows and then I clear the drive or whatever. Lately I have been using it to move hay and feed critters and it may only be running for 15 to 20 minutes. Are the short running times an issue on the newer diesels? I may start it and let it run at about 1100 rpm for a few minutes and then open the throttle and get feeding done. Exhaust pipe is not wet like it is slobbering, but I still wonder it it is washing fuel past the rings until it is good and hot in the cold. What do you guys think? Oil is changed once a year in the spring, but I may have only put maybe 200 hours on it in a year.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
