Assuming you have read all the other replys,I have one more option to your tractor starting better on 6 volts. It's an old trick from the high compression, hot running world of muscle cars. This assumes that your tractor is a coil/distributor ignition system. Simply wire in a toggle switch in the negative side of the coil. With switch in "off" position,start turning the engine over. It will turn over faster because it isn't trying to fire yet. Once it turns 4 or 5 times and the cranking speed is up,then switch the toggle to on and it will take right off. It not only lets the engine turn faster when cold,but also gives it a chance to get the fuel/air mixture moving correctly before it fires. If you don't believe it try it the easy way before you go to the trouble of wireing it all up. Disconnect the neg coil wire,have someone crank it and then connect it once cranking fast.Good luck.
