Has anyone tried this oil? I have a 4100 and a F735 and would like easier starts in the winter. It is full synthetic and reasonable in price from my dealer.

I haven't used that brand, but I had a 4100 and used synthetic oil with good success.
I would explicitly trust any oil marketed by Deere. They do their homework in this area. ....

I have been using the 15W-40 Plus 50 Synthetic Blend oil with very good results. I buy my oil by the 55 gallon drum so the price is better. This batch was $1.28 a quart. The 0W-40 Plus 50 is a very good oil made by Chevron for John Deere. I think you will have very good results as well. How much does your dealer charge you for the 0W-40 Plus 50? ....

Looking at your profile, I would assume you have block heaters on your equipment where possible? If not; these will make a huge difference in starts, and warm up times and are fairly easy to install. ....

Thanks guys, I was fairly sure that any oil from JD would be suitable, just was leery of a 0W in a diesel. I do have a block heater in the 4100, none in the F735 as it gets put away for the season by end of Nov. My dealer wants $22.00cdn for a 4 litre jug which compares well to $32.00cdn for Mobil 1 and $35.00cdn for Shell Rotella at jobbers. ....

The correct reading of the numbers tells us that this is a 40 weight oil with 0 weight winter flow properties, not vice-versa.
It is just what the doctor ordered for your engine. ....

Here is some of John Deere's poop on their 0W-40 oil. It has a pour point 21 degrees lower than the 15W-40 Plus 50.

"My dealer wants $22.00cdn for a 4 litre jug"........... Grab a bunch of that stuff. You can use it in everything.
I got a good price on Rotella synthetic and stocked up. It goes in the lawn mower, the Camry, the Tundra, the tractor, the RTV.... everything but the chainsaw, and I buy synthetic 2 cycle oil for that. ....

Thanks guys,think I will pick up some tommorrow as it would seem that this one oil can replace all except 2 stroke for me as well. Simplifies my "stock". It seems to me, by reading the specs, that I should bee able to use this year round. Any thoughts on that? ....

Synthetics are best for hot weather, best for cold weather, best for hard usage, best for seasonal use.... just the best and all from the same can.
The ONLY downside is the purchase price. ....
