I don't know about any other series, but on my L series the glow plugs are " automatic timing" on the on position of the key, which means they shut off when the CPU thinks the time is enough. Mine, stay on, regardless of outside temp for about four seconds. This morning it was 5* F when I started the machine, I cycled the glow plugs cycle three times and probably could have used a couple more. Is this the way the pre-heat system is supposed to work?
No block heater on the Bota, stock heater on the JD.
It just not seem correct, to me, that the "auto" pre heat cycle is four seconds when it it 55* and four seconds when it is 5* F.
On my other tractor when the temp is around zero, I pre heat for 25 seconds and could probably go more at times.
Thanks!
