I spoke with my dealer today about getting a plug heater installed on my 7500. (I am using a magnetic heater on the oil pan now.) He says heaters are not really needed anymore on todays engines both gas and diesel. Letting the engine warm up while idling is the way to get to operating temp. He hasn't installed a block heater in 5 years on any newer tractor. I would suspect he could make some money selling and installing them, so I do believe his logic. I will continue to warm my oil a few hours before I start it which he said was a small help.
