Half a mile sometimes ,and it hasn't been cold this winter, I guess ollie is right and the oil does need warming

It's a safety feature to make sure the oil is warm enough first, you will see a snowflake/ice symbol on the screen indicating the temps are too low.
I know that and I should be more patient but when I set off I dont always see snowflake and dont realise till I'm out of the drive

Wouldn’t be an issue for me, always have tractor started and heater on for 5-10 mins before use in cold weather anyway

Haha! In winter it was an exception, start it and use it as quick as possibleYes especially the cabless 135
But you can buy low viscosity UTTO of different oils brands but maybe not new Holland ,that oil might be more suitable for cold conditions?
That’s the quickest way to ruin an engine in my opinion block up the DPF and glaze the bores up , just half a minute to get the oil pressure all around then straight to work NOT under full load or revs mine you that’s the quickest way to worm them up .minus 10 or 15° give them five minutes or soWouldn’t be an issue for me, always have tractor started and heater on for 5-10 mins before use in cold weather anyway

Only if you leave them ticking over, i normally let them tick over 30 seconds then set them til about 13-1500 revs then go do something else for 5 mins, by that time they are warmed up inside and the gearbox etc is smoother etc
