Wow. The "winter grade fuel is actually #1 diesel fuel. Summer fuel is #2. #2 fuel can start forming wax Crystal's to plug fuel filters at temps as high as 20 degrees F. Winter fuel is a mix of #1 and #2. The #1 can form wax around Zero to 5 degrees F. Below zero you need an anti-gell additive, I've used Power Service as long as I've been around diesels and never gelled up a truck/tractor. Years ago ratchet jaw truck drivers bragged about using regular no-lead gasoline in diesel fuel to degell the fuel. I'm a HUGE fan of block heaters, Dad kicked me out of a garage about middle of December, went to town and bought 1500W tank heater for my car and two 100 ft x 12 gauge extension cords, used that block heater any time below 32 degrees. Think there's only been 2-3 cars or trucks I've owned without block heaters. There may be a small heater somewhere close to the fuel filter on your Kubota, check with your dealer, the 7.3L IH built Powerstroke engines had a small low wattage heater in the bottom of the fuel filter, heated just enough fuel to keep them idling. If your dealer says your Kubota doesn't have ANY kind of heater have him promise it never jells or he installs the block heater for FREE. Buy a timer, set the timer to start the block heater 3 hours before you normally use the tractor. They REALLY don't cost that much to run. Think the block heater on my 7.3L PSD was 1200-1500W, Cost a Buck to run it ALL night. Next morning truck rolled over about 1 revolution and was running, No clatter, no smoke, no rattle. I know that's a lot of the reason it runs so good after 307,000 miles.
