Best starting gas tractors - Farmall 300 and a Farmall 656. Best starting diesel tractor I've ever seen was our old 886 with the German diesel engine. Basically as long as the fuel wasn't jelled up it would start and run no matter where it spent the night. Hardest to start cold weather (does it count if it doesn't start at all?) was our old 560 diesel. Even with working glow plugs and dragging it around the yard with a chain it would only start on its schedule. I remember several times it just sliding along when there was snow on the ground so even pull starting it wouldn't work.
Second hardest to start in cold weather was our 4568. It wasn't that it was so hard to start but it took planning to make sure it started. In the fall you made sure you poured LOTS of diesel treatment in tank. Then you plugged in the block heater and hooked up a battery charger a day in advance, then you built the tent and heaters around it and warmed the engine and batteries for several hours, then a small shot of either and it fired right off. Normally once temps went below 32 that tractor was parked in its shed and never saw daylight until spring. It was only started a few times in the middle of winter - mainly to move it to the shop for repairs and once to drag a dozer out. It was a beast of a machine.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
