Case 75c going dead after cold start attempt

[ego260]

I have a 2023 Case 75c. It’s in Wisconsin and it’s been very cold. When I go to start the tractor I run the glow plugs 3-4 times, then crank the tractor. It usually won’t start on the first crank, and the whole tractor, dash included goes dead. I have to reset the tractor by disconnecting and reconnecting the negative battery terminal and trying to start again. The tractor will eventually start, but what could be causing this and how do I trouble shoot it?

Could be a bad battery. Bring it some where to have it tested.

Bad Battery? Maybe, but it sounds more like bad battery CONNECTION. A bad battery doesn't temporarily heal when a cable comes off and goes back on. Disassemble, clean, and inspect all four battery cable connections before replacing anything.
