My 300 does not start nicely when the temp is below 20 or so. It
starts right up, runs for about ten seconds and then dies and
that is it. I had a small hang-off-to-the-side coolant heater that
came with it that I hooked up last winter but it did not help. The
hose going out of the heater would be warm but not hot and the
temp gauge never showed anything. I am thinking about getting
a heater that goes in the lower radiator hose and am wondering
how many watts I need to really be able to warm up the engine
enough to matter and if there is a brand to look for or to avoid. I
occasionally have lows down to -30 F but mostly this would only
be down to -10 or higher. The tractor is inside an unheated
building right next to a plug. Any advice will be very much
appreciated.
