You must have some other problem with starting your propane tractor... Years ago I worked for a propane company in northern Minnesota, and we ran all the delivery trucks and pickups on straight HD5 propane, even at 30 below zero... they all started pretty good down to about 10 below and if it was suppose to get "cold", well, then we would just plug in the block heaters at night... Like others have already mentioned, make sure you've actually got propane, and not butane, in the tank - propane boils (vaporizes)at minus 40 degrees below zero, but butane quits being useful at PLUS 32 degrees ABOVE zero.
