Cowman's pretty much covered it. You gotta learn what your tractor wants.
Sometimes you luck out and you'll get a tractor that starts as if it has electronic fuel injection. Most of the time it requires some combination of throttle and choke.
Cold air is denser and drier. It requires more fuel to get the right mixture for starting. That's why you need to choke the engine more in winter.
Also consider keeping a "battery tender" or similar device on the battery during the winter months. That keeps the battery "warm" and ready to go all the time.
I keep a Schumacher Battery Maintainer on my 6V Super A all winter, and it fires right up on the coldest days, even with SAE30 oil in the engine.
