I recently purchased a 6441 and it is hard to start. One issue is the glow plug light is not coming on at all when I move the key to position 1. If the tractor is in the sun and the air temp is over 60 is will usually start, sometimes I need to jump it with my truck and it takes the extra power to turn it over. The battery is less than 6 mo old according to the dealer I bought it from. I noticed something is draining the battery when the tractor is off (possibly a bad relay, need to troubleshoot further). Could the glow plug light issue be the glow plug relay/controller that is bad? I checked all the fuses in the cab but also just learned there is another fuse near the glow plug relay/controller I also should check. I just wondered if anyone else had been down this road with this tractor.
