I have a diesel VW Jetta that has glow plugs. Recently changed them at 75k miles. Turn key to on when gp icon on the dash goes out start the car. If it is so cold it doesn't start, cycle the plugs again.
I plow snow with a JD 4230. I have a multiple outlet extension cord pluged into a timer and plug in the block heater, battery charger and dip stick heater. I set the timer to go on an hour or so before I get up and before I leave work. Our drive way is down hill to the road so getting out is usually doable. To get back in at night means parking down the road, firing up the tractor and plowing, sometimes every night.
