[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1786933, member: 39018"] I keep my feeding tractor plugged in all the time it's not running in the wintertime. Haven't ever had to replace a "tank heater" (what ya'll are calling a circulating heater) yet, and yes, they do a much better job of heating the whole engine than a "frost plug block heater" does. What you're not calculating in is that the tank heaters are thermostatically operated... so if the water is warm already, like from running the tractor, it's not going to operate... until the water temp falls below the thermostat setting... not sure what that temp is, but often, it's not drawing any electricity when I go to start in the morning... so it cycles on and off.
