I never leave an engine heater plugged in. Heard of too many fires starting from shorted cords. I've always planned my needs so that I can plug in the heater a few hours (or minutes) before I need the tractor and its ready. Those frost plug heaters work just fine.

The engine is warm to touch and starts on one turn of the starter . And this is Saskatchewan winters.
