So this morning I wanted to see how warm and how fast the block heater worked.
My tractor is a Cub Cadet/Yanmar Sc2450, It is kept in an unheated and unattached wood structure one car garage. I used an infared thermometer with a laser and pointed it at the same spot each time on the on the block, opposite side of the block heater.
10:00am the block was 30 degrees, then I plugged in the block heater.
10:30am the block was 38 degrees
11:00am the block was 50 degrees
11:30am the block was 57 degrees
12:00pm the block was 63 degrees
12:30pm the block was 66 degrees
1:00pm the block was 70 degrees
I stopped at 1:00pm, I had to clean the snow off the driveway. I do not know how hot it will get but I think 70 degrees is a pretty good temp.
I will try and plug it in tomorrow longer to get the maximum temp.
