I've been extending the glow plug cycle up to 20 seconds with a couple of repetitions. It has been around zero to single digits here in N NJ. Not sure if that reduces the life of the glow plugs? I put in the block heater and use a battery tender as my BX2660 is parked outside. It made a big difference and as I read on here, it makes the little tractor a lot happier starting (and will hopefully extend the engine life and prevent damage). I started treating my fuel (5 gal. cans) in the fall with an additive that was supposed to prevent gelling, but it didn't, either because the temps fell too far or I did not use enough for the lower temps. Yesterday I used some Power Service 911 and changed the two filters, and filled the tank with treated fuel. This morning it started up after being on the block heater for about 40 minutes, and short cycle on the glow plugs. I was also storing the fuel in a shed, so for this cold snap I've moved those two five gallon cans to the basement (which I don't like, & I'm sure my wife won't like when she goes down there!) But gotta keep that driveway clear so we do what we have to do.
