Little red puppy worked splendidly, keeping my tractor warm and happy in the coldest weather. But: don’t leave it plugged in overnight unless you own shares in National Grid. Just an hour or so before cold morning start-up is good. Also, don’t rip the cord out of the device with your front end loader. I did. Had to buy a new one at Tractor Supply.
