First off- dump the ether. It's a help, but hard on the engine- any engine. First, and the least costly idea. Put a heater, block or external, on the tractor. Park it in a building or near a building with electric, and plug it in for 1/2 hour at least before you need it. Mine are on a timer to cut electric usage.
A bit more expensive, but put a new set of injectors in the tractor. Your tractor may have never had a new set. They do wear out. A new set, with a good spray pattern, works wonders for starting and for power. It's almost like getting a different tractor. If I remember, my 4030 had a set of pencil injectors in it. They aren't too expensive, and fairly easy to change.
I changed the ones in mine, and it felt like I gained 20 or 30 hp. It also started much easier at colder temps and cut fuel usage drastically. If my memory serves me right, it had around 5500 hours on it when I did it.
