First off- dump the ether. It's a help, but hard on the engine- any engine. First, and the least costly idea. Put a heater, block or external, on the tractor. Park it in a building or near a building with electric, and plug it in for 1/2 hour at least before you need it. Mine are on a timer to cut electric usage.
A bit more expensive, but put a new set of injectors in the tractor. Your tractor may have never had a new set. They do wear out. A new set, with a good spray pattern, works wonders for starting and for power. It's almost like getting a different tractor. If I remember, my 4030 had a set of pencil injectors in it. They aren't too expensive, and fairly easy to change.
