[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1728552, member: 24816"] I’ve heard several people recommend timers for them, but have never got one. I agree with the assessment of the Fords ,from my experience with a 3000 and a 7710, when it gets much under 40, they need plugging up. I used to leave them plugged up over night, but stopped that, after the heater on the 3000 started sizzling and smoking right after I plugged it in. I've heard people say the heaters need replacing every 2 or 3 years. A couple hours plugged in will get the 3000 going. The Case tractor I had did much better, it would start good down to a little below 30, and plugging up a half hour or so would do for it. I have a John Deere 5055 now, and it seems to start good down to around 30, I haven't tried to push it have been plugging it up for about a half hour when its at or below freezing. It's been down to 5-10 degrees a few mornings and it's started right up, with being plugged in [/QUOTE]
