The 970 has a tank style heater and the 1070 has a block heater.
When I put the 1070 together the engine already had a block heater installed, I had a tank style heater in the shop I was going to install on it 2 years ago, but it starts so well with the block heater I have not bothered.
Plugged in overnight both start well.
-32 outside right now, I will be feeding the cows today and as long as something does not trip over a cord and pull a plug out both will fire right up without any starting fluid.
Once started 15-20 minutes to warm it up then start cycling the controls to warm up the hydraulic oil.
Baby it for the first bit while the rest of the machine try's to get the grease and oil moving.
Some use timers or plug in a few hours before they need them.
I would rather know they are warm and ready to go.
More than once we have woken up to a dark house because of a power failure, we have a UPS on the computer in the office that starts beeping as soon as the power goes out so it is like having a power alarm clock that wakes you up if the power goes out.
Walk outside and fire up the tractor that was plugged in while it is still warm and will still start is first priority.
If it is a feeding tractor or a snow removal tractor and you are in a cold climate and need to depend on it then be nice to it and keep it warm.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
