I put a block heater on it, 110V, run it for an hour or more depending on the temperature. Starts right up, I also move it from the pole barn to the garage, and I keep a trickle charger on it as well. Case requirements are the heater below 32F, run the engine at half throttle, move the machine slowly til the hydraulic motors/fluid warm up. I usually let it high idle for 15-20 minutes before moving, and once outside I cycle the bucket/boom 3 or 4 times to warm the hydraulics. I also replaced the battery with one that has much higher CCA rating.</p></blockquote><p></p>
