I've never really used a block heater before (even though I've lived in upstate NY for 30 years). But, this year the BX2200 will have to stay outside for the winter...so I'll be needing it. It already has one installed. My questions are..... should I leave it plugged in all the time when the tractor is not in use? Or should I plug it in only before I think I'll need the tractor? How long before?
95% of the tractors use in the winter is for snow throwing...so it could sit for weeks between uses. Temps on my mountain can easily go below zero in Jan and Feb.
Should I use a fuel additive? Of all the additives I've tried...the best I've found for use in my larger NH tractor was simply about a quart of Kerosene in 2 gallons of fuel.
