With airplanes (I know you guys don't fly airplanes but I think this is quite relevant) the mixture is set by the pilot every time he flies. The EGT is used to properly set the mixture as stated in the POH(pilot operating handbook). Too lean and you burn valves. Too rich and you foul plugs. The charts in the POH dictate exactly how the mixture is to be set. With turbo charged airplanes intake manifold pressure levels are also stated in the POH. A thinking pilot never diviates from these settings.
My point being that deviating from factory specs can have serious consequences. Admittedly, more so with airplanes than with tractors.

Hangars are notoriously hard and expensive to heat because they have high ceilings and very large doors. Commonly airplane folks don't even try to keep the air in the hangar heated, they use infra red heaters and heat the objects (people) in the hangars. Very cost and comfort effective.

Those infrared heaters sure feel good if you are where they are pointed. I have a couple in my garage that I can move around as needed. I also have an 8 foot long hanging model that I hope to use when I get the garage done. I still have some drywalling and insulating to do. It will sure be nice to have a warmer place to tinker with things.

I am sure the heaters take a bunch of electricity when they are running, but I don't leave them on except when I am right there and can benefit from the heat. I wish they made the concrete floor warm, but I guess that is too much to ask of them, especially when they are only on for short time periods. Insulated boots work pretty good on the cold concrete.

Yes I agree that deviating from factory specs. will greatly have serious consequences. I work on commercial aircraft and when doing preflight there are limits that run the engines up to looking for egt, n1, n2, epr. at certain rpms. We do have a heated hanger but when the doors are opened, it can actually get colder than it is outside and takes a while to heat up.
