John Deere 4430 COLD START

Its 12 degrees with negative degree wind chill watch this 4430 chooch to life!

[@lfeco]

We had a 4230 that was very hard to start if it was below 55°. Don't advance the throttle, spray ether while cranking the engine. Always plug in an engine heater if you can, much easier on the motor.

[@E37206]

Those 30 series were always known to have starting problems in general rather it was cold or not. They fixed the issue in the 40 series

[@b.l.barfield2420]

never inject ether when engine is not turning, or figure extra starters in your farm budget along with a ring job.

[@OnePieceTractor]

My 4430 started perfect at half throttle and always ether inject while cranking the engine. 4440 always starts better with no ether

[@E37206]

I heard the 30 series always had an ignition problem with them, and in the 40 series they fixed that issue or whatever. Heard it from a forum

@@E37206 4430 has a 6.6 L/404 diesel and 4440 has a 7.6 L/466 diesel. 7.6 L much better engine.

[@QuadtracCole88]

We need to use ether on our 4440 unless it’s in the shed plugged in

[@briangleason5597]

Beautiful tractor.

[@nalley6815]

No reason to move the throttle unless your aneroid is out

[@robertbohlinger3851]

Best tractor start in the World !

[@jamesonnadgwick7775]

Are 4440 revs all the way up when started we don't push throttle forward

[@unknownuser53488]

One thing we do is put it in the highest range like for a 4430 we would put it in D and then sometimes it will start up and give it some eathern and a lot of throttle

[@rickybearden4575]

Good old John Henry!!!

[@joevidaurri3434]

Best cold start. Ever...👍

[@nathamon8267]

WOW SNOW VEVR COOL

[@edeancozzens3833]

Give it some either when its turning.

[@QuadtracCole88]

lol, ether and not wide open to start brotha

[@b.l.barfield2420]

Bad thing is now everyone knows you don't know what you're doing.

[@codycrouch5474]

Would start alot better if left at idle

[@tannerdamico9895]

Don't be afraid to shoot the either to it

[@wisconsinfarmers7810]

Turn the steering wheel next time

Yes sir, She was not Happy. Wanted to Sleep.

[@arandomfnaffan1502]

Just curious what does that button actually do

[@redrockfarm3446]

It’s the either injection. It shoots starting fluid into the intake

[@blacksheep6888]

Drugs for Diesels

[@TheRealJesseStoltzfus]

We call it the crack pipe. We had a 4020 that loved a good snort of crack, even if it was plugged in.

[@cs-gj3yf]

those jd motors are made to spray ether into them

[@redrockfarm3446]

You bet

[@cs-gj3yf]

@@redrockfarm3446 i cant believe you didnt just hold the button down for like 5 seconds and let it start

[@redrockfarm3446]

@@cs-gj3yf I was too scared lol it sounds like nails in a blender when ya give it quite a bit

[@Veestar88]

That’s like -40 50 degrees in Canadian weather.

[@Veestar88]

Acutauly like -25 degree’s

[@johntrash7719]

You have no clue how to start that poor 4430

[@loganbeedy5950]

All 30 series JDs start like that regardless of the weather

[@danieleibler9727]

Cant understand why Tractors in the US dont have Thermostart . In Europe, Every Tractor has thermostart. My 2030 and my 2450 have thermostart as standard. You can start Them in winter very easy

[@bluegrassman3040]

Most diesels in US have a engine block heater, or even a grid heater for the air intake.

[@danieleibler9727]

@@bluegrassman3040 they have ? But why there are so many videos, with hard starts like this ?

[@bluegrassman3040]

@@danieleibler9727 idk. I’m not sure if those older JD tractors had block heaters on them or not. I’ve never owned one. Also farmers say the old 30 series like the one in this video did not start easy when it got below a certain temp. The 40 and 50 series started easier.

[@BloodiedYetUnbowed]

They had block heaters. Most people are just too lazy to plug them in

[@danieleibler9727]

Need a Tractor with a Cummins, that Deere is a pathetic starter.

I have caterpillar yellow in my veines if not green and yellow

[@lonetnier2733]

I may be dumb but what good does it do to put full throttle on a diesel??? That makes zero sense in my eyes.

[@redrockfarm3446]

It doesn’t make any difference on these tractors I just did it for shits and giggles
