Lower Radiator Heater element

Does Mahindra offer a block heater for the 4110? I'd like to install one in mine.

Jeff,
I have been selling 4110's for over 6 years, here in upstate NY, and have not had a 4110 owner complain about a 4110 not starting. Also I try starting all of the new tractors on the coldest days, and the 10 series always start with just the glow plugs. Also the 3215, and 2815 have never refused to start. I have installed lower radiator hose heaters on some of the 15 series tractors, and block heaters on the 00/20/30 series tractors. I don't really think you need it on the 4110.

Galen;
Thanks for the reply. I have not had any problems with starting so far. Using the glow plugs on the colder days. Just wondering if one was available and/or needed.
I always had to have a block heater on the tractors I owned in the past for winter starting. The 1910 Ford the 4110 replaced was hard starting even in the summer.

Hi Guys
New to the site. I bought a new 2615 lasr spring and I love it. Problem is that at approx 27 degree F it will not turn over with enough umph to start and I have to jump it with my truck. Battery is 635 cold crank amps, stock.
the dealer is giving me a new battery and I am putting a external magnetic heater on the block. Dealer swears never should be a problem. Any input from you guys?
Thanks
paul

I have a lower radiator hose heater in my 354LE Jinma, a cold-blodded beast, it wont start without help below 32F.

At -22F, I plug it in for 90 minutes, it starts like it thinks it's the middle of summer almost.

I called local dealer and got a price of their block heater recomendation at approx 350.00. I LMAO. Ordered a magnetic unit from J C Whitney for fifty bucks.

Sounds like the exact problem I had with my 6500, the first fall/winter I owned it. Only my starting cutoff was 30 degrees. Replaced battery, then starter. Checked and rechecked all wiring/grounds etc. Nothing would remedy it.

Then one day when I called dealer to moan and groan about it yet again....well...turns out the factory rep. would be traveling only 1/2 hour ride from my place. He showed up the next day, and spend all day going over the machine. The last thing he did was to check the timing. Turns out the timing was apparently set wrong at the factory. Been fine ever since.

You might bring this up with your dealer.

After last winter I've been thinking about adding a heater to the engine to help with starting on really cold (-30) winter days, it never failed to start but why continue to put the engine under additional wear. My questions since you've installed heaters in other 2815 tractors is do they make a block unit, do you carry them, and finally cost, and then where would you install it on the engine. It seems the block unit would be better a than put a unit in the bottom hose.

I have heard of oil getting burned with a magnetic heater, I put a hose heater on the new 2615 and it starts like it's july...

The hose heater works well, just follow the directions that come with it and you should be fine.
The block heaters are available, but they are some what cost prohibative. I am not near a price book right now but the cost of it is in the hundreds.
