- Kubota L3240
I have a 2007 Kubota L3240 HST tractor with a dealer installed block heater. I keep the tractor in my garage and keep the heater set on 42 degrees to keep the dog warm.
I have never used the block heater and always start the tractor and let it run a few minutes before I move it. It has never hesitated to start right up.
Is there any need to use the block heater since the tractor and oil are never colder than 40 degrees? I would use it if there was any advantage, but would not want to waste electricity if there was no advantage.
Thanks,
Mike
