Older vs newer JCBs which handles winter better?

[Trailstone]

I've had my share of older JCBs over the years, and I always noticed they had their own little quirks when winter rolled around. I'm curious to see how the newer models perform in cold-weather conditions. What’s been your experience?

A few winters ago, I went from a mid-2000s JCB to a brand new one, and I was shocked by the difference. That new model didn't struggle as much in the freeze, and the electronics worked a whole lot better. Still not perfect, but much better.
