What temperature, or other factors, constitute a "cold start"?
I know it does an engine no good, so I'm trying to avoid them. We keep the tractor in a garage with a pellet stove that I only run at certain times. If I know it's going to be very cold and snow, I'll run the stove so the tractor is warm in the morning when I start it.
Sometimes I go through tractor withdrawal and just want to take a ride. Tonight was one of those nights...so when I got home from work I jumped on her and drove down to the neighbors. The garage was 32 or so degrees when I started it. Is that a cold start??
