I have to admit.. This 225 is the first diesel I've ever owned. I'm still running the tractor, and I imagine I will most of the winter, but do I need to do anything to prep it for cold weather? Isn't there a diesel additive for cold weather?
I've put a whopping 40 hrs on it since purchased new, so I guess it's not really due for its first service. 50 hrs, right?
Just treat it like it's any other time? I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
Also, when starting, I run the glow plug for a while, how long to I need to run the glow plug before starting? Until the light goes out? I've not waited that long so far..
I'm just a poor city guy trying to get by in the country. Ha
Thanks,
Jeff
