In theory a battery with reserve capacity of 125 minutes would last 54 minutes on a 600watt load.
The reserve capacity can't be fully used however due to the 60 amp draw instead of 25 amps.
The invertor would trip off on low voltage at about 30 minutes.
A long extension cord or a small portable generator would appear to be a solution. The oil pan could even be warmed if it was possible to blow the generators exhaust onto the oil pan.
Of course the pole barn cannot have anything flamable around the generator or live stock that may be fumed by the exhaust.
How cold does it get in your barn?
