Dumb would be to start thinking about first day your cold!
Couple things to think about
1) Do you need insurance on the building. Now I know why we all have insurance, but depending on the condition of the barn and cost of insurance.....
2) If the main reason you want insurance on the building is in case it burns down, maybe re-consider putting a fire in it all winter long
3) Reddi-heaters do work amazingly well, but I personally cannot stand the fumes of diesel, so I use K1. Depending how much you run it, fuel costs add up quick. They are pretty noisy too. Obviously this is a flame too, though pretty well contained.
4) Great reason to build another shop! Add radiant heat and you'll love it! I've had radiant heat in my shop (36 x 40) for about 15 years now. Wouldn't be without it.

Could heat the water other ways too, electric water heater, propane, etc

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
