Well, mystery solved, I believe. Took tractor to dealer, who reported that the wire to the glow plugs was loose, so that I was not, in fact, getting any glow plug warmup. I've started the tractor cold a few times since then. After letting glow plugs heat 2 or 3 seconds the tractor starts after...

Don't know why Kubota recommends starting at half throttle but it's right there in my manual, on page 6. I also throttle down to idle as soon as it starts, and let it warm up at that speed. Went out yesterday and tried starting it at idle, just to see if it made any difference. It didn't. I...
