Snow CT2025 Engine Heater needed?

[wisconsitom]

I plan on getting the block heater by this winter. Mine does start rough in cold weather-lots of smoke-but it does start. In any other conditions, no issues. I think the block heater will be money well spent. Maybe around a hundred and a half $$.

The block heaters are installed as part of the dealer's PDI setup in Saskatchewan. You can have spells of similar weather in MN.... should really be part of the a MN dealers PDI as well.

Magnetic ones heat more air than oil.
Had 2 (X400) attached to my CUT and no starting, but one same wattage (400) frost plug would start my CUT every time.

In line hose heaters are better but engine specific frost plug units still rule.
Down side is draining coolant in order to install most frost plug and hose units.

I see part number 7388933, engine block heater, is more like 90 bucks or so, not hundred and a half.

Anybody know-any issues with item not staying in tightly or any such?

Block heaters rule! Had many on cars and tractors. 0 problems.
