hello
last week in the low 30's the 873 ran great worked it for 4 hrs straight with zero running problems , i needed to unload some steel and move a log splitter to the shop for a engine replacement today temps warmed up to 6 degree's so i went out to start the bobcat it started but it took alittle to get it going let it idle for 15 minutes started to take it out of it's unheated carport and it fell on it's face , it woulnt power up at high speed it was like all it could do was run at a idle speed , i run no 2 diesel with a fuel additive for jelling etc... any tips on this machine so it will run at 10 degree's or lower , i gave up got it back in the carport and went and started the John Deere backhoe took 1 shot of either to start right up with no jumper needed on the motor , it warmed up in 15 minutes and has no trouble running in the 10 degree and under range . i hope this machine will run in cold temps as it needs to work when i need it
Thanks for a replies
