Hello MF in Frosbite Falls! Like any machine your tractor needs to be allowed to warmup prior to putting it in gear. This is even more critical in below zero weather. Power Shift and Hydrostat tractors have a built in thermostat in the oil cooler circuit to aid in quicker warmup, this diverts oil away from the oil cooler and back to the sump to aid in a faster warmup. I've only seen one failure in my 30 years of wrenching due to cold weather on a Cat D8 steering pump at 30+ below that cavitated and wiped out. Using a synthetic oil helps a lot. My brothers 3020 is in an open shed plugged in and fires and goes every day in the winter.
