Running tractor?
I think the best option would be to store the vehicle in a heated shed (multiple benefits to the unit) and load 'er up and keep it running up until the point you are ready to drive off, then shut 'er down and drive to location. Unless it's an hour away, everything will still be toasty by the time you arrive.
The issue is that some states don't allow for auxiliary engines to be running on something that isn't part of a trailer. Refer, sealcoating, asphalt and other trailers have the motors built into them. I don't know what state you're in or what the rules are there. If there aren't any, then go ahead and run the tractor on the trailer.
Another advantage is that if you stop any place in between, someone can't just hop on and take your pride and joy off your trailer and out for a joy ride around the parking lot... Sorry, here in California you need to be always alert for imbeciles...
