I use a conditioner that treats it to -40F, run straight #2. Without conditioner, would be running a 60#1-40#2 mix. Was thinking of putting some #1 in it tomorrow. Spose to get to 4F, so pretty warm. Then gets a bit brisk for rest of week. -30F+, so better to be safe than sorry. I have a JD 3520 at my cabin in upstate NY. I have #2 in it with Power Service conditioner. I don’t think it’s been below -10F there. I’m sure you have extensive experience with keeping things running in that cold. I’ll find out Friday if I’ve done everything right. I’m definitely not acclimated like you but I do find that the dryer air there in The Catskills makes the cold easier to take than the generally higher humidity here on Long Island. The Vortex is coming my way next. The important thing to remember about Power Service is there are 2 different rates for different temperatures. You need to double the rate for -30F protection. Also, are you using bio-diesel? IF so, well........you aren't going to be a happy camper. Do you have a plug in headbolt/block heater on it? IF not, pick up an oil pan heater. www.amazon.com/Kats-1155-Watt-Magnetic-Heater/dp/B000I8TPFU?SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-d-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B000I8TPFUAlso, another hint. That tractor should have glow plugs or such. Cycle them TWICE before you try to start it. My son in law has a Yanmar tractor about the same size as yours. I serviced it last week for him, you both have the same engine. I did put Cenex 5-40 full synthetic oil in it for him. It really aids in the starting. Don't know if there is a Cenex store near you. This would be easy to get for future reference. www.homedepot.com/p/Shell-Rotella-Rotella-T6-Full-Synthetic-5W-40-Diesel-Motor-Oil-1-Gal-550045347/300388016Note this line: Shell Rotella T6 synthetic oil is based on freeflowing synthetic base oils that allow reliable pumping on start-up under cold climate conditions yet remain thick enough under high temperature operation to protect against wear OK, I wrote a short book, but a few things I have picked up over the years.

Agree with Sig. Very interesting. As for the “third rail” concerns voiced by McIntosh and Leamon, “That was definitely the case until about seven or eight years ago,” Meehl said. “Since then, tangible mechanisms have been established in observations and models that connect solar variability to Earth's climate.”Will Meehl be reprimanded and drummed out of the club?

No biodiesel Sig. I will definitely cycle the plugs twice! I used the regular dose of Power Service in my fuel so far and won’t try to start it below 0°F. Thanks for your advice and those links!

There, fixed it for you Ratty. I think yes raises its ugly head.

Well you know though thats just weather don't you Ratty? After all check the heading of the forum. . . .Space Weather and Global Warming.

The header is the forum name. Ice, I think the forum is solarcycle24com on Proboards? There is a board called Space Weather and Solar Activity, not Space Weather and Global Warming. This board is called Global Warming and Weather Discussion. What am I missing? Trust me, I've never made a mistake ..... that I can remember.

Trust me, I've never made a mistake ..... that I can remember. Sorry for confusing you Ratty. I appreviated the Space Weather and Solar Activity board to just "Space Weather" and abbreviated the Global Warming and Weather Discussion Board as just Global Warming. That made Space Weather and Global Warming as a title for the Message and Discussion Forum. My apologies! Probably should have thrown in the "Ham" board as well since that probably brings it a little closer to home for you.

Finally got up to my cabin in Tne Catskill Mountains of NY today. It was -10°F last night and 0° when I got here. I drove through an area that was -17°. I know that’s bathing suit weather for Sig but it’s cold for me. My tractor started and ran fine to clear my driveway. I did put a bit of kerosene in the tank and another dose of Power Service. I was only mixing in enough for 0° but it was filled with a “winter blend” of diesel that has some percentage of #1 mixed in.
