The hydro being cold shouldn't be an issue either. I've never seen an excavator or dozer in a heated garage to start and run thru a winter.
Though, getting the tank and pump warmed up sure aint gonna hurt it none.
I agree with Rivera - the hydraulics may work a little slow, but they should definitely work. The heat won't hurt, but the heat will only heat the pump and reservoir, but the heat won't get out the hyd. lines and the cylinders until you've run it some. I'd take up the landing gear first because there won't be a lot of strain in lifting them and that will get the warm oil part way you to slide cylinders. Also the later in the day might be better if the days are warming up nicely.
