Without disputing anything the guys below have said............it depends on the wattage of your heater. Most of my JD tractors were bought with an oil pan heater installed; not sure what I'm paying for electricity, but it cost about 25 cents per 24 hours, which is $7.00 or $8.00 per month. The feed/chore tractors stayed plugged up all Winter.....whenever they weren't being used. Had a couple with freeze plug/water jacket heaters; they used $1.25 electricity per 24 hours; had them on a timer. Could never tell that one kind started better than the other. Some folks will tell you that you 'cook' the oil with a crankcase heater, but it was never a problem for me; your experience may be different. Had one (isolated) barn where I kept tractors and they were the only thing that used electricity; it was easy to monitor cost.
