Diesel in cold weather is a b**ch! You need #1 diesel in winter (kerosene) and can use #2 diesel in summer (fuel oil). Can't find the right grade diesel? BUY A GASSER. Many times we had to pull the diesel tractors 4020, 3020, and even the 4440 with the 520 (gas) to get then started before we could feed cattle (then the flights in the Kelly Ryan feed wagon were frozen to the floor and THEY broke). Want it to start on a cold morning? BUY A GASSER! These guys are right about the longevity of diesel because of the simplicity of function, BUT they are MUCH more expensive if you DO need repairs. Cheaper to BUY A GASSER! Also agreed that if you have one, plug it in immediately after shutting down (don't wait till you need) unless you have a circulating block heater. We plug ours in at night after supper, so they'll be ready in the AM and then sometimes still have to pull start. Want to save on electricity? BUY A GASSER! Bring it up to the house and plug it in by the back door if you need to get closer to electricity. What to do if you live in town, and there's no elctricity out were the tractor'sa at? BUY A GASSER! And remember, pull start is a TWO man job, what are you cgonna do if you NEED thsat tractor, and you are by yourself, or you don't have anything to pull start it with? Again, BUY A GASSER!
