Block Heater for Kubota B1750HST D

[pteinert2mf5cz]

Does anyone have any experience with a block heater application for a Kubota B1750HST D? I have searched all of the block heater companies and cannot find any detailed information that provides a specific heater with detailed installation information. Thanks in advance. Text, pics and/or videos are appreciated.

Did you try the dealer?...

Yes, I've emailed Kubota and haven't received a response. They probably do no want to comment on a compact Kubota tractor that is 20+ years old. I reviewed several block heater companies. Kat's, Zerostart, BMI, etc. and they don't provide detailed information. At this point the circulating tank heater may be the best option, given the limited amount of space to install a heater. Thanks for the suggestion.

Post over in the Kubota Owning/Operating Forum and let the pro's help you out.
Good Luck!

I MUCH prefer the lower radiator hose tank heater. Normally easier to instal and if there is a leak it's easier to fix.

Thanks for the advice oosik. Installation would be easier and leaks would be easier to repair, than a freeze plug block heater leak. A tank heater may be my best option. Winter is on its way and predicted to be colder with more moisture. Need to complete the heater installation soon.

I've used the tank heaters in some pretty extreme conditions( Glennallen, AK) and they always worked well. Like having a little coffee pot in the lower radiator hose.

Lower rad hose inline heater.

Thanks Egon. It's on my short list of options.
