Cold-weather starting is a known issue, and is almost entirely solved by the block heater (replaces a threaded freeze plug on the Yanmar and warms the antifreeze) available as a dealer-installed option from Bobcat.
When not using the block heater, I turn the key, wait for the glow plug light to go out, then turn it back to off and wait for a second glow plug cycle before starting the engine.
According to "Chapter_05_Engine_Cooling_System.pdf", the cooling fan comes on at 194°F
