My best starting tractors where the Duetz-Allis 6275 and the JD 5210 I currently own. I have started both is single digit weather without them being plugged in. The worst cold weather tractors where a JD 4430 and that Ford 6000 I started out with.
I had to grind feed just about everyday then. I had hogs on four different farms. I only had a JD "G" and the Ford 6000 diesel. The JD "G" had that darn 1 3/4 540 shaft so it was out for grinding as the adaptors would not last. So that left the Ford 6000. I had a tank style block heater in it and it was plugged in as soon as it was shut off. I had a heat houser on it so I would put a heat lamp on the injection pump side. When it was below zero I would start the tractor with the SOS disconnected and put a space heater on the transmission case so the transmission would shift. I fought that tractor through two winters before I was able to buy a better tractor to grind with. That actually was a David Brown 990. I only had it one winter but it started good. I traded it in on a new IH 1086 the summer of 1980.

For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
