Does anyone else have a ct122? Is this what it sounds like when it starts up first time if the day. After that it starts easy.

Price Check Does this sound like a normal start up?

It was in a heated garage. Around 17-18 degrees celsius. Thought it either is losing prime or these tractors just start a bit rough

Agree: My 225 will start like that @ 40-50f if I don't wait for the pre-heat. If pre-heat dash light is on and you are waiting for light to go out before cranking, check resistance if glow plugs.
Within seconds of starting to crank there is smoke present = is getting fuel.

Your not giving it enough throttle.. bring it OFF OF idle just a tad.. it'll make all the difference in the world.
I think, if u read the owners manual, it says to..

It's a diesel. It's cold. I let my CT235 idle for half a minute to get the oil flowing before idling up a couple hundred RPM's. Synthetic oil, mind you. The pour point is - 50. Molasses oil will take longer to reach the top of the head. Consider a block heater?

It's in a heated garage here. I think I will try giving just a little more throttle then idle when I get home tomorrow and let you guys know how it goes.
Thanks for all the ideas and opinions. Much appreciated
No comments on your glow plugs? You sure they are working? These engines need those on first crank of the day even though garaged. Without using them they crank just like your video.
