Here s a question that I m sure will have many answers. I have a JD 1520 diesel and it does not have glow plugs or any sort of starting aid. So when it gets cold it can take a bit of time to get her running. It was around 10 degrees F the other day and it took some cranking to get it running. I m not a fan of starting fluid so I get her running without it. So how many of y all keep the block heater plugged in all the time in the winter? Is there any drawbacks from doing this aside from the power bill? It does have quite a few hours on the engine, but when it s a tolerable temperature outside it starts and runs easily. I don t need the tractor for winter feeding of cattle so it does not get used all the time, but when I need it for snow plowing or any other reason it needs to be started reasonably soon- so I don t want to wait around for hours for the block heater. I do not have a shop to keep it in as this is ranch property with high desert range cattle on it. In the winter I park it next to a power pole that supplies power to the well. Yes, I cover it to keep moisture/snow off of it. Last winter I kept it plugged in all winter.
