    l series glow plug effectiveness. / what is normal?

    I have a grey market L2000 (L225) equivalent. I've owned it 10 years and it is my first Kubota. It runs great and I love it by the way. On the L225, there is a small glow indicator on the dash. I typically engage the glow plugs until the glow indicator becomes red and then crank the...
