Warming Up
In 20 degree F temps, how long do you guys let your tractors warmup before operating? Seems like it takes a long time for my hydraulics to get working, 15 or 20 minutes ? Does that seem right ? Thanks in advance for any replies.

I have a 990 and I wait until the temp needle just starts to move at the soonest. The time seems a bit much. Have you tried deadheading the hydraulics several times to see if that helped? What sort of hydraulic fluid you running in it? How long since you changed it and the filter?

Sure do!! Had about 5 acres until a virus got into the grove,  so that land is now pasture. But we do still have a few trees that I kept, along with a few grapefruit and some tangerines!

I once visited California where we showed up at night. Next morning I went outside and saw this orange tree and couldn't believe my eyes. Looked almost fake! Orange ornaments on a dark green tree. Trip!
