2 hrs with a 1500 w heater under the hood and it fired up. But it took me 3+ hours to clear around a 700 ft driveway, its not snow with ice on top, its more or less solid, not ice but solid frozen snow. Couldn't push at all, had to dig, reverse, dump, dig. I wish I had hydro, clutch tractor. Wore me out.

Talked to my s-i-l that runs heavy equipment, he tells me that above Mason Dixon diesel gets blended with up to 50% kero in the winter to prevent gelling, but nothing below MD. That's why I had gel issues for the first time ever. Going to run out to get some Diesel 911 today.
