Block Heater

[jbe]

Just bought my first tractor. Branson 2810 w/FEL and brush hog mower. So far so good. Was wondering if anybody knows where to get a block heater for this model.

Good Afternoon Justin,
Just about ant tractor supply will have what you need. There are a number that advertise on this site, there are also places like Valu-Bilt tractor etc. Some of these heaters can be spliced into the lower radiator hose etc. Plug them in an hour or two before you want to use the tractor in cold weather and your good to go !


BTW welcome to TBN , and congrats on your new tractor !

Or any auto parts store. I like the frost plug block heaters better, but some tractors won't take them because the block is too small. A dealer should be able to tell you. The auto parts stores have them cheaper and they're usually on the shelf.

One of the best things I ever did to my old tractor. Jay

The tractor will thank you on the first cold day and that heater is installed. Lifters will be much quiter on a real cold day. Good luck.

For any of you all that are interested I finally found the right heater for the Branson 2810.

I got a KATS brand heater part number 11407. This was a screw in type frost plug heater and was fairly easy to install. It took a large breaker bar to break loose the factory plug which was located behind the starter at the rear left side of the engine. (when looking from the seat).
