Recommended Engine Heater for Kubota Tractor

Published 12/12/2017

Question:

Which type of engine heater would you recommend for my 3 cylinder, 23 HP Kubota diesel tractor, manufactured 2014? I have never had any issues starting it in sub-zero temperatures, but of course, I would rather not crank it so hard, which is typically about 10 to 15 seconds of work on the battery before it fires. This engine uses a glow plug. Thank you,

For your Kubota Tractor, I recommend looking at a magnetic heater like the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum # KH1190. This particular heater will magnetically attach to the tractor's oil pain, warming the fluid in your engine block for faster startup during the winter months. Because of how this installs, it is considered a universal design so it will work well for your particular application.

The heater itself measures 5 inches long and 4-1/4 inches wide. It has a heat output of between 300 F and 400 F.
