Mike, what tractor are you putting this on? Is this a diesel? glow plugs? Are you having trouble turning it over, or trouble getting it to fire?
If it is gasoline only, I would invest in an oil pan heater. If diesel, then a coolant heater would be my next choice. reason for oil pan heater on a gasser is to reduce the starting amps to crank it over. Unless it is really frigid, gassers do pretty well. If a diesel, I would want the block itself with the combustion chambers to be up to a reasonable temp.
Just my $.02 worth. I don't use a heater on any of mine, and I have started by F-20 at -10 without much fuss, and that is hand cranking it. I know in really cold weather, my H gets a bit fussy, but if I am careful on how I use the choke, she usually will fire up.
