@@KALI1080 Maybe he needs to upgrade from the Fendt 724 gen. 6 to the new gen 7. The newer gen. 7 Fendt 724 (2023 model) has changed the engine manufacturer from the 237 HP Deutz 6.1L engine in the gen. 6 724, to the 240 HP AGCO Power 7.5L engine. Hopefully the AGCO Power engine works better in the cold than the Deutz engine. It might be primarily and issue with the Deutz engine. IIRC Mike have previously mentioned the Fendt 1050 with a MAN engine starts/runs much better in the cold than the Deutz engine. So hopefully the AGCO Power engine in the new gen. 7 700-series starts/runs better in the cold too, than the Deutz in Mike's gen. 6 700-series.
