The circulating pump-types are good, however someone mentioned that they don't necessarily work all the time depending on the configuration of the coolant routing in your engine. In my opinion, the simplest and best is a regular block heater which heats the coolant via installation in one of the removeable frostplugs (or casting plugs as some call them) that are in the side of most engine blocks. A couple or three hours of being plugged in and what a difference it makes. The coolant actually moves or circulates a bit by convection movement in this simple system. One more suggestion is to keep your battery inside the house, maybe in the back porch, etc. There is NOTHING like a warm battery to give good performance. The amount of power a battery loses when cold is unbelieveable. Hopefully you have a tractor which isn't too difficult to do this with.
