glow plugs

[flying belgian]

I only use one tractor in the winter and keep that in a heated shop so it always starts. On newer tractors with the glow plug in ignition does it always stay on the same amount of time whether it is 50
degrees or ten below?

We have a New Holland T5070 at work and if it's really cold the light will stay on a lot longer than when it's fairly warm. And during the summer it never comes on. I don't remember what another one we had was, but was on a time delay and came on the same amount of time no matter the temp.

The heater on my 'Bota always comes on but for noticeably longer when cold than when warm.

My Yanmar you wait for the light to go out and cycle the key again, then it will fire right up.

My Yanmar powered Deere was the same when it got cold. I replaced the glow plugs and now starts on the first glow plug cycle
