I have a Kubota B6100 hydro, with about 2500hrs on it, and there is NO way it would start w/o glowing when cold, though the compression release thing also works. It is so cold blooded that if i don't restart within a hour, it'll need re-glowing to start. It's been like this since I bought it, and other ones I've tried are like this too.

Even the Kubota 4hp diesel likes glow when cold, but doesn't need glow as often and the tractor.


As far as the ether injector for tractors goes, any that I've looked at (just a few) all give a pre-measured amount of ether for each try, not simply hold the nozzle down on the can for whatever time the operator activates the injector. I have one of these one my truck, to ensure it's tired butt will light up when I need it too.
