I'm still having trouble with how 200 watts is going to accomplish much anywhere when it is only the equivalent of 2 100 watt light bulbs for comparison in relation to a 1000-1500 watt heater in the block which is more like the heating element of your water heater. Granted the engine is not insulated like the heater but you are not trying to get 160 degrees out of it either. Now lets look at the warm oil running over a cold engine block it will stiffen right up like it was cold now too. With the block heated that same nice cold oil starts to warm and work like it would if it was warm, and thins as it flows around in that semi warm engine. So in all, I call a lot of BS to the oil pan heating and 200 watt oil magnet heaters in most cases. Both would probably make the most sense with both being warmed. They would help with both lubrication and starting, though nobody wants to pay the bill for that much juice to run them both. So now here we are back to the block heater if you want it to start. And if it made that much difference with the warmed oil then manufacturers would already ad them to the cold weather starting options they already offer. And since they are in the business of working on your engine or anything else you might have they usually only offer an ether aid for starting. OR you can get an engine heater added for $. The lower radiator heaters I don't think work as well from my experience over the last 50 years with them and don't last as long as the block heaters or the tank heaters. They do work for a few years with tractors or engines not set up to use a block or tank heater. And of course it would be hard to beat a salmander heater blowing the heat of a furnace on one for a half hour before starting warming both oil and water.

Today's Featured Article - Experimental Tractors Article - by Danny Bowes (Dsl). Tractor technology appears to have nearly hit it's pinnacle of development. If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
