My best starting tractors where the Duetz-Allis 6275 and the JD 5210 I currently own. I have started both is single digit weather without them being plugged in. The worst cold weather tractors where a JD 4430 and that Ford 6000 I started out with.
I had to grind feed just about everyday then. I had hogs on four different farms. I only had a JD "G" and the Ford 6000 diesel. The JD "G" had that darn 1 3/4 540 shaft so it was out for grinding as the adaptors would not last. So that left the Ford 6000. I had a tank style block heater in it and it was plugged in as soon as it was shut off. I had a heat houser on it so I would put a heat lamp on the injection pump side. When it was below zero I would start the tractor with the SOS disconnected and put a space heater on the transmission case so the transmission would shift. I fought that tractor through two winters before I was able to buy a better tractor to grind with. That actually was a David Brown 990. I only had it one winter but it started good. I traded it in on a new IH 1086 the summer of 1980.
