I would add to that. After you walk in then you plug the diesel block heater in and wait a few hours. Then hope the diesel fuel hasn't jelled on you or else you are changing filters and getting cold diesel fuel all over you and then bleeding down the system. Then plug in the battery charger and wait a few hours. Then find out the battery has aged and doesn't produce the cold cranking amps needed for a diesel so you go buy a new battery. Then check and find out the glow plugs aren't working. Then find out you need to take out a second mortgage if the fuel injection pump and injectors need an overall. Then when it is so cold that it won't run, you have to go buy a gas tractor to do the job. Then find you are low on diesel fuel and you need a pickup to haul the cans to a station or else have a vehicle that reeks of diesel smell on the inside. Then find out that diesel doesn't wash off your hands very well and takes a number of washings to get the smell out of your clothes. Even if you store it in a barn, by the time you get it warmed up enough to drive out, you will be covered with smelly diesel exhaust.
I could go on about diesel but I wouldn't want to drive 2 hours and depend upon it starting in the winter. On the other hand you could have some of the same problems with a gas tractor.
My personal choice is a solar powered snow melter to clear driveways. Comes on automatically at dawn and shuts down automatically at the end of the day. Very economical as it doesn't cost anything. Also saves the strain on the back since no labor is involved. lol

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
