Unfortunately I don't have access to a garage right now, I was thinking of building a little shed for it but that still won't be any warmer than outside. I was thinking of a product like
this but I never checked to see if this would stay on the pan.
Glad to know that when I have been starting it I did what you said otherwise. About 1/4 throttle for a few mins.
Are there any other ways to keep the tractor warm for the winter?
