If your H is having problems starting in the cold, you may want to pay attention to the other components on your tractor before you buy a heater - these machines are known for being able to start easily in the cold. I've only gone down to -5 but didn't have a problem at all at that temp. Having said that, I _do_ have a heater on my H (tank heater) but I use it to reduce the wear on the engine a cold start brings - less viscous oil provides better lubrication, longer engine life. To put one on for those purposes would be a good idea. A couple other comments I've read here have been that 80% of engine wear in the colder climates comes from winter starts and 'if we had those heaters when the tractors were new, they'd've lasted 500 years before a rebuild'. I think the benefits outweigh any detriments. Overall, I'd say just go ahead and get it but if you're having problems with cold weather starts, make sure everything else with the engine is shipshape.
