I have a JD 3020 gas. Once I put in a Zener carb and an electronic ignition is starts well in the cold (SD cold). I also moved the battery up by the starter and put in thick cables, but that was mainly due to the suitcase batteries being expensive and not having as much oomph (CCA). Nowadays they are more readily available and in greater potencies, so that probably wouldn't be necessary.
It is a thirsty bugger, and I wouldn't want one if I had to use it more often (like, to plow all day). Parts are available, but JD is very proud of them and they cost a lot. The slowest reverse gear is a little faster than I would like for blowing snow, but it is plenty powerful. I run an IH-80 (7 foot?) snow blower and it does fine in our cold, fluffy snow. Not sure how it would if you mainly got thick/wet/heavy snow.
I'd seriously consider an older Ford if I was starting from scratch. 4 or three cylinder 4000?

Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
