I live in northern MN and plan to buy a compact JD in the next year. Winters in our part of the world tend to get VERY cold from time to time. How well do these tractors start in sub-zero temps? Does the direct injection (4200) start better than the indirect injection (4100)? Yes, I plan on installing a block heater. Thanks in advance!

I was just wondering how old "orange" tractor was and if it was an older one or a newer one...I have seen the older ones and they can be a real pain to get going in the dead of winter yet the newer ones will start the same if it is 60 out or -15 out...they really do start a lot better than any other diesel tractor on the market... ....
