Hello from Canada. Any equipment left outside not plugged in (block heater) is not expected to start. Oil is thick like grease in the cold, issue is not battery it's how you store your equipment.

Al, snow doesn't cause the ground to freeze. It PREVENTS the ground from freezing. Snow is an insulator. If you get several weeks of below zero waether, the ground will freeze, but it isn't because of the snow.

When I lived in Alaska, we kept the block heaters plugged in at 10f for diesel and 0 for gas engines. They should be plugged in over night. I would also do a hydraulic warm up prior to doing any work.

[@djw1962]

Agreed, I too lived in Alaska, and block heaters and all.

[@freddymax5256]

I suggest you leave a quart of oil that you use in your equipment out in the cold overnight in a glass jar. Tip it over after it’s been chilled to see how congealed it is. That will show you the viscosity of the oil the pumps have to distribute to the wear points of those expensive components. Winter fuel and oil (hydraulic and engine) and block/transmission heaters are cheap alternatives to expensive repairs. There are excellent videos on line explaining the reason for heating up the fluids.

[@davidcasper8923]

My sister-in-law lived-in Park City years ago and had cold start issues. I told her a hack from an old Alaskan trucker. Turn on all the lights on the vehicle and leave on for 15 minutes. This allows the battery to warm up providing warm cranking amps. Her neighbors asked her about how come she could always start her car on the frigid mornings. Soon the whole parking lot would be aglow .

[@rupe53]

Back when I did fleet work I had 10 oil delivery trucks (each with a 1,000 watt heater) and the boss was always crying about the electric bill to run them the better part of 16 hours each night. I got together with a local electrician and devised a system with a timer to bring them on-line at 4 am for a preheat of 3-4 hours. Something like this could help quite a bit with the limited solar power issue.

[@danrose3621]

I still say you need an equipment shed to keep things out of the elements

[@willsvb5233]

Your Canadian commenter is spot on! Just because Canada is north of you doesn’t mean it’s products like tractors and outdoor equipment is invincible! You should store your equipment indoors and also put anti gel into your diesel powered equipment fuel tanks! Gasoline antifreeze is and excellent idea for your gas powered equipment! Condensation accumulates in the fuel tank which gets into the fuel lines and carburetor freezes and voila your equipment will not start! That’s how we Canadians deal with cold winters!

Sounds like the farmers I remember while living in a small town, on this comment session. They all met early to have coffee and discuss all the solutions to local and world problems. These old grouchy farmers always had a firm opinion about what someone was doing wrong. And, people say women gossip and have hen parties. LMBO.

[@alansomerville4806]

When they first built the sheds, and then the lean-to I thought that was what they were for. Also, building an indoor pig place. My father kept his pigs indoors in the pig barn. I kept mine outside, year round. Some would sleep next to, but NOT in the ark. Shake the snow of themselves, the great pile of a dozen or so pigs and come for early morning grub. My pigs were ALWAYS amenable, well-behaved(within reason - they are after all pigs.) BUT their innate behaviour was satisfied. Me dads pigs you didn't approach most of them without a shovel and most had rings in their noses. They were allowed NO innate behaviour and it showed in their natures and interactions with us. Put the equipment in that lean-to, keeps the pigs outside.

Are you for real mowing in the snow, quickest way to ruin equipment, you need to store the vehicles you use for feeding animals stored inside so they are easier to start

[@tonycarey1735]

I'm not a farmer and I don't live in cold country so I'm the first to recognise my limitations, but I can't understand this need to mow. It would be one thing if the ground was predictable and flat, but mowing in a field where there are big rocks and bogs hidden under the snow seems really careless. I've also commented on the need for an equipment shed too, but it is apparently on the list but not a priority. The only reason Australian farmers (the problem here is the heat, not the snow and cold) leave equipment in the elements is when they come to the end of their working life.

Should also have a garage structure by the harvest house the live in. The car, pickup and can-am should all be parked out of the weather as well. One of the reasons why we have them in the Northern US. Keep out of all that heavy snow and ice and cold winds. Below freezing temps are not kind to newer "plastic body" vehicles. Easy to crack. Plus UVA and UVB exposure isn't actually helping much either. Why Southern folks have carports. Keep stuff out of the weather and sunlight as well.

I second the equipment shed idea. Great video. I grew up with snow in Ohio, don't miss it.

[@edieboudreau9637]

Hi Al. Snow is an insulator. It actually keeps the house warmer with less expended energy.... ( Read that as we piled snow up against sides of house up to window frame. It cut our heating bill in those months by quite a bit. Yes. The sump pump had to work harder in mud season as it all melted... But fewer oil fills is great at prices in winter.- yes, im speaking of living in Maine) So I don't think frozen snow is an indicator of ground freeze. Besides igloos are frozen on the outside but the inside stays quite a bit warmer. Hope you get done all you want to with minimal equipment damage. EDIT: I'm guessing you'll be pulling out the roof rake after this next snow ❄️ if you get as much as they're calling for there. I remember having to make sure it was done after every snow 🌨️ to make sure the load on the roof was eased. Many DON'T understand how HEAVY snow really is. Especially lake effect snow ❄️🌨️🌨️.

Hi: Al, I'm a Canadian living in the Great White North. Many of us use synthetic oil normally 5W -20 or 30 for all equipment being used during our cold Canadian winters. Standard oils become very thick in cold winter, while synthetic cold weather oil flows more quickly. It also greatly reduces engine start up ware in cold weather. Try this in your Can-AM and you will see a big difference. I sincerely hope this info helps. Yes, the oil cost a little more but it's well worth it. As a long time subscriber and watcher.

Canadians "plug in" their car engines during the winter by using a "block heater" which is essentially an electric heating element installed in the engine block, allowing them to warm up the engine coolant and oil before starting the car in extremely cold temperatures, typically when the temperature drops below -15°C; this ensures easier starting and reduces wear on the engine.

Ya, I live in Canada and it doesn't get that cold here. This winter so far we've barely gone below zero and right now we have no snow as it's been raining a lot. You are supposed to keep your block heater plugged in overnight so your vehicles will start in the morning and not freeze and crack. Enjoy your subzero temps, Brrrrrrrrr!

You're welcome 😁👍🏼 I ask you about your recovery in the comment you gave me Sunday but never got a reply back. So I guess you're doing better I see. God Bless you.
