Hydro heater

[Farmer_Giles]

I just couldn't get used to hearing the scream from the hydraulics on my TC33D when first using it on a cold morning. I purchased a heater pad, which incidentally could not be used on the engine oil pan because of the ribs, and attatched it to the transmission housing. I use a magnetic heater on the engine oil pan. Now the screaming has gone and the tractor is ready for work instantly, which is more than I can say for me early in the morning.

I use the same style heater on my TC21D oil pan... There's nothing like nice warm oil (engine or hydraulic)! It is amazing how quickly these little pads heat up... I tested mine before installing it... boy does it get hot... & fast!
