I have the same tractor and mine exhibits the exact same behavior.
I too, have wondered about the glow plug light. I've done the key-on/glow plug light goes out/key-off cycle sometimes 5 or 10 times in a row and same result. I was using it away from home and left it on the trailer overnight when it got down in the 20's a few weeks ago. I made sure to get it fired up and warmed up before I left the house (project was 30 mins away) to make sure I didn't kill the battery at site and have to turn around.
Once I just left the key on and walked away, and then it fired right up. So maybe the light and glow plug behavior isn't as described in the manual?
All I know is I try to keep mine in the garage during the winter, that baby is cooold blooooded.
