I do have to "fast idle" (1600-1800 rpms) my engine when it's colder than -30F or else sitting there long enough at normal idle speed, the engine will get completely cold (Like temp gauge on the C peg) Slowpoke Slim

what sort of tasks are you doing at -30 with your tractor? regards

Maybe Slowpoke Slim will chime in too. But North Dakota is mostly a rural state consisting of farmland, cattle ranching, and other rural endeavors. If the temperature is -30°F and the cattle need feeding, you need to provide them with feed. If you're taking crops to market and need snow removal to get to the bins, you need to get it done. If you live in a rural area and need to provide access for mail, school bus, medical services, emergencies, etc., you might not be able to wait for warmer weather to clear your driveway of snowfall. The same applies if you have to commute to your job. And there are times when there's many consecutive days of sub zero weather so you have no choice but to be out in those temperatures. That's one of the main benefits of North Dakota living! :LOL:

You should drop the "North" and just call the state "Dakota." According to some folks, that will solve all your problems. 😄
