I like the lower radiator hose heater that I put on my 641Diesel. I don't know the wattage, but at zero, the diesel tractor will start easily if the heater has been plugged in for an hour or two.

It was easy to install. I just cut the lower radiator hose up near the engine and then cut out an appropriate sized piece of the hose. The heater pushes into the hose and then you tighten the clamps. the only remaining thing to do is to route the cord where it won't be damaged. I think my heater cost about $20 or $25.

I don't think the diesel would start at all without an engine heater in the coldest part of winter. The glow plugs will work, but they take a whole bunch of battery power when it is really cold. I think the plug in heater makes more sense. Good luck!
