[QUOTE="TriHonu, post: 84025, member: 897"] He asked how to keep it warm. The only way I know how to do that is to add heat. If I think of it ahead of time I plug in the block heater. If not, I start it and engage the aux to run the snowblower and let it warm up for 10-15 min. By then the engine and hydraulic oil are warm and ready to go. My Kubota starts easy as long as the glow plugs are working. It took me a bit to figure out my glow plug relay quit working. The dash was showing the glow plug timer countdown, but the engine was slow to start with a lot of smoke. I finally checked the glow plugs and found the relay had quit working. A new relay was $5 and it was back to normal. [/QUOTE]
