Needed Either yesterday. Slipped off a trail with my Bobcat into a creek and needed the 350b+winch. 450c was in the way so at -24c with a little either they both started nicely. Having fresh clean 0-30 in them seems to help a lot! Below seasonal temps for us the next couple of weeks...-31 here now but colder in the forecast. At least the snow is staying on, sledding has been awesome here in cabin country, 2 hours away in the city, 4 feet less snow.

What temperature do you normally need ether to start a JD crawler? My 350 starts at 20F without ether...

When they are at -15c ( about 0 f.) or colder, I use either all the time. No sense in wearing the battery down.

That makes sense, where is the best place to spray the ether on a 350?
