    Casey, please reach out to EcoFlow and get the specifics about their warranties and after warranty service options in the USA to add to your EcoFlow sponsered videos. EcoFlow is the best in the business.
    I feel that the end users that are on the fence between brands should be aware of how they will be taken care of when/if their unit fails. These are very expensive units that are completely useless if a control board fails inside them.
    My experience with Jackery and their response of zero after warranty support for my failed Explorer 1000 pushed me to go with an EcoFlow Delta 2, and I have zero regrets.

    IF you have points on your tractor check those. Make sure they are clean and flat and a match book for your point gap. Bad points and/or gap will make it crazy hard to start.

    Look into the small heating element you put in place of your freeze plug, it'll heat the engine block without spending extra power on the radiator. Then a trickle charger and a small silicone oil pan heater and it'll fire up on days cold enough you won't really want to sit on the tractor. We do it this way here in Alaska. You can fire up a truck or tractor easily even at -40°F weather.

Wish Grumpy good health. I have a GMC k1500 5.3 made in Canada. Gas eng. That has a factory block heater. i was surprised to find it. Living near Straw Palace, don't really need it, though nice to have. For my travel trailer, I use propane for fridge, heat, and cooking. 2200w gen for nukematic or ac, one at a time. Also a Renogy 100w plus a go power 120w for all 12v. (Splitters, crossovers from one type cord top rewiring in R Pod, equals grumpy old man's methodology in finding solutions piecemeal. 😀 It works for me. Per your channel, I have looked up the Delta_eco system. Most likely make my system easier, but, it is what it is for now. Another great vid, 👍 waiting for next.....if you get cold feet....heat tape around boots 👢 and solar will help. LOL!

    While stationed in Alaska I learned to love moving blankets! Not the cheap ones from wallygrounds but the good thick ones. I strap one to the hood of my truck or tractor here one the farm and whatever I'm using to keep my blocks from freezing isn't working against the cold winds also. When the snow is wet or it rains a tarp will keep it dry and insulating.
    Generator lovers can be fools Casey! That engine running at idle doesn't burn efficiently. Like chainsaws and weed whackers they run best at higher RPMs so they are self destructing when not actually being used. FOOD FOR THOUGHT!

    Hey Casey, I have two John Deere tractor for plowing in the interior of Alaska. Sounds like you need to winterize your tractor like we do. Put in a Block heater replacing a soft plug in the block, put a rubberized 70watt pad heater on the oil pan and that will be all you need for a long term fix....... Then you plug your tractor in for a couple hours prior to starting and it will start reliability,
