My 3020 gas starts fairly easy, using a full choke even on a 100 degree day. It is cold natured, requiring partial choke even on the before mentioned 100 degree day, until the engine is up to temperature. But no problems starting. Just make sure everything is tuned up, and the carb is adjusted properly. The intake manifold has "warmup crossover blocks", which are at the connection between the intake and exhaust manifolds, that can be reversed to aid fuel atomization in either hot or cold climates. They are either installed to open up the heat, or are blocked off, as it is on mine. That, I am sure, is why my tractor is cold natured, even here in south central Texas. Diesels do not need as much tuning to keep running properly, which is perhaps why he is steering you away from this tractor. Does your friend have proof that these tractors all start hard, or is he just blowing smoke? For what you are intending, I think this would be a good tractor for you. Are you buying this tractor near your home? Because I think you would need to reverse the crossover blocks I talked about earlier, if you, for example, lived in Alaska and was buying a tractor from Florida or Texas. Just my 2 cents worth. (or judging by the length of my post, $38 dollars and 56 cents.)
