Engine heater and Power beyond kit

[smalltown]

After returning from the dealer last week I forgot to discuss engine heaters for cold weather and the power beyond kit installed.

Does anybody have any idea of the costs of these two for a 2520?

I do know the first dealer wanted $150 for an engine heater and that sounded way out of line.

It's been a year,but I can't see the price double!
My dealer added the block heater to my 2520 for 70.00.
Not sure about the power beyond cost.

glc24 Thanks for the reply it gives me some idea. Also read your post on the new updated arms on the 3PH. Wouldn't you expect that all the 2011 2520s would have the new style by now?

You would think,but then again.............

Maybe for $150 your dealer will install the tranny heater, too? :thumbsup:

You can get the MSRP for the Power Beyond circuit from the JD "Build your Own" at least.

Of course that does not include installation, but if your dealer included it in the purchase package when you bought the tractor it should all be part of your loan at this point.

The 2520 I just ordered had the block heater added for $70 (installed). Didn't get the power beyond... not sure if I may regret that but at least it's easy to add later.

Just purchased 2520. The engine heater was $80.00, and the power beyond kit was $300.00.

Rand thanks. The power beyond was that an installed price?

if it was a "block heater" i think i paid 34 bucks and some change. and about 1 hour install. most of which was getting buckets around to drain antifreeze/water. a few minutes prying out a cap were block heater goes. rest was filling with antifreeze/water. and then finding some place to zip tie the cord to.

if you are talking about oil pan heater. that fits inside of the oil pan itself. then it would be a different story. and i don't remember prices

if you are talking about coolant heater or heater/pump that runs most likely off drain port on radiator to another spot in one of the hoses going to engine. they run a little higher than the block heaters, i want to say 40 to 80 bucks.

everything is off brand, generic manufacture. DIY installation.

$150 bucks for engine heater (of one of them types) i surely hope would be with installation. if not. i would quickly look else were. or less you want to pay for a name.

================
i can not speak of power beyond. cost.

I Cant speak for your dealer, but when I bought my 3520 that dealer (who has since been bought) made it a standard to have the block heaters on all 3x20's and larger machines (Could have been on the 2x's as well but I never paid attention). Wasnt even on my invoice, but its there, and was on all the machines they had on the lot.
That being said, I cross referenced the block heater for my F935 and bought it from a local heavy truck parts supplier for $27.00
Not hard to do, but on a new machine, i'd have it done...
