B3200 Block Heater

[Tughill Tom]

Hi all,
New to the Kubota world, Just bought a 2011 B3200 with loader and front mounted snowblower. I'm looking to install a block heater with and outside temp. controller to turn it on and off. Any such thing out there?
Thanks,
Tom

Not that I've seen.

The 'Thermo Cube Thermostatically Controlled Outlet' along with a timer would give you some control over when the block heater would be energized.

Thanks, I saw one of those at Tractor Supply today. How about the heater it self. Does it mount in a freeze out plug? Thermostat area?

The 'Thermo-Cube' turns the outlet on and off at the preset temperatures - it will control whatever you decide to plug into the 'Thermo-Cube. Whatever type of heater that you decide to install will plug into the 'Thermo-Cube' receptacle. I use one to turn on a milk-house heater in my pump-house at 35 degrees f and turn off at 45 degrees f. I believe that it will work with any 1000 -1500 Watt block/tank heater that you want to install. I also read some reviews that some people have had issues with these units but mine has worked okay for me so far.

There is a large screw in plug on the left side of the engine towards the front of the engine. It is a screw type block heater not the front plug style.
