I have a Kubota M5040 and regularly use it in below zero temps. I use a block heater to pre-heat the engine, and it starts fine. The problem is the transmission/hydraulic takes forever to heat up once the tractors running. Sometimes I can't even get the tractor to move for a long time.
Has anyone used a magnetic block heater on the transmission? I need to figure out a way to pre-heat it, but I don't want to burn the fluid either.
Thanks for any ideas.
