[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1728863, member: 26138"] Everything we have will start down to about freezing. Much lower than that and they get plugged in overnight. We have a newer Case Maxxum that will pretty much always start if the fuel has been treated. But it will not move for 30+ minutes because the hydraulic filters are on the suction side of the pump. I put in a transmission heater a couple months ago that helped quite a bit. We've got a JD 4430 that is pretty cranky too. Converting it to 12V batteries and new cables helped a lot. It still needs ether if it's much below freezing if by chance you don't use the block heater. I don't think there is anything you can do to make them start good except buy a 40 series or one of them red things. [/QUOTE]
