We only put circulating heaters on 50 and 55 series tractors when new. Can't say I ever saw a block heater on one. Generally speaking -block heaters are often low wattage and often left on all the time, or at least all nights in the winter. Circulating heats are often high wattage and make a lot of heat, fast. You can plug one in and be ready to start in half an hour, even when below zero F with a big circulating heater. We put 1500-1800 watt heaters on a lot of big tractors. If you read the directions for those heaters - it goes by the gallon-capacity of the cooling system.
I am not saying one is "better" then the other. They tend to be used differently. As far as a magnetic pan heater goes? Kind of worthless as I see it.
My 445 cubic inch diesel truck has a block-frost-plug heater and it is only 120 watts. My tractor with a 144 cubic inch engine has a 1500 watt circulating heater (much bigger then it calls for). Guess which one heats up faster?

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
