- Just me out there relentlessly cranken on the LS tractor. She sputs and sputters, But will she crank watch the video to find out.
This is just me in my backyard on one of our record cold New Hampshire mornings. Before filming this We had a cold spell of a few days with nothing higher than 10ﾟ. Before this video was shot it was negative 20+ out the entire night. coldest night of the winter so far!
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch through the video about my LS tractor.

Richardroy211 @TheRichardOlson LS tractor cold start.
I have a little 1987 sub compact diesel tractor and live in the North. I installed a radiator heater which is easy. I leave that heater on an hour. I hold on the glow plug for 1 minute before cranking . Crank until it starts or start all over again.
My manual (LS Mt357) has a temperature chart that shows the amount of preheat time. @ -30ºC (=-22ºF) it says 40 seconds.
I would look for “cold starting” in table of contents in your manual, or text search in digital version for ‘cold’ and see what pops up… As it’s safe to say that the colder it is the longer the glow plugs need. If the battery can’t handle it, then at least use a battery tender that has the ability to also give a small boost when cranking, and try and get that block heater installed… (I have mine plugged in right now.)
I have that same tractor, my is a 2021 model, mine has never failed to start, but I live in the south and we don't see temps like you have, still a great tractor...
You should do a final thoughts and overview on it, looking into these
I'm totally doing that I just wanted to give enough hours on the machine and enough real experience to make the next video
Minus 25 with no block heater, parked outside, no sun exposure. Hmm.
My truck starts
My MT 125 in negative 0 degrees needs to cycle the glow plugs 2 or 3 times before cranking it?
Yea it is a hard starter under 10°F. Above ten no issues
Was looking at one of these tractors as the pricing is good. Would you recommend it ? Or get a different more established brand.
Go a doffernt brand if your buying with the intention od getting your tractor repaired well
Hate this tractor huh? Lookn at one now
just bought a mt125 , dont let this guy steer you wrong, love mine.
Is it a Mitsubishi engine? I have Mahindra Max 26 xl with same problem.
No it’s yanmar
Do you still own this tractor?
All brands have issues
This one just WAY more then others. At least if the other brands break you can get parts and have a decent dealer Network
battery tender yo
Still dodnt work. She just wont do it without a block heater
