Engine heater for a tractor

Minus five degrees, the tractor is outside, the work is waiting. The starter turns and turns, and the engine won't start. Anyone who drives or repairs tractors knows this. A engine block heater for tractors can help here. 

Why cold starts put stress on engines

In cold weather, an engine runs harder. The oil is viscous and spreads more slowly. The starter has to work harder. At the same time, the starter battery delivers less power in the cold.

Additionally, there is the warm-up phase. Often the engine runs for a long time while stationary before the tractor can work. This costs time and diesel. A starting aid helps with starting. However, it does not warm the engine beforehand.

The solution: engine block heater

An engine block heater warms the engine before starting. It is connected to a power outlet, and the engine no longer starts cold afterwards. In the LT shop, we offer engine block heaters and power cables for selected Fiat and New Holland models.

This brings you three things:

• Less diesel, no warm-up phase: The engine starts faster. You do not have to let it run for a long time while stationary.
• Battery and starter protected: A pre-warmed engine turns over more easily. The starter has to work for a shorter time, and the battery is less stressed.
• Less wear, ready for use immediately: The cold start puts the most strain on the engine. With pre-heating, it starts under better conditions, and the tractor is ready to go when you need it.
