Nice job sharing a good practice Glad to see you DON’T leave block heater connected overnight or unattended When these short out hope circuit breaker trip
You are right to be cautious about leaving the heater on unattended. Kubota itself recommends no more than 4 hours. I am glad I have this heater for the super cold days.
Yesterday it was 9 below zero. I am sure that tractor would have started without it, but the block heater sure makes a difference. I'm mostly interested in reducing engine wear and tear during startups. I want this machine to last forever.
Ya, its better for them, but I have owned 3 kubota's in the last 15 years and never have I plugged one in. My 2380 started fine a 5 below zero F the other day. I have had some heavy equipment that will not go without, but the kubota's are pretty good starters.
Mine will start below zero as well, but I noticed a little sluggishness and more effort when not plugged in. I intend to keep this Kubota for a very long time and am trying to minimize the wear and tear on the engine when super cold. The heater just makes it slightly easier.
Yes, those block heaters are an engine saver. Especially on John Deere construction equipment. They don’t have glow plugs. They have an ether canister piped into the intake. When I had a JD bulldozer I would cringe starting it with the knocking it made. Eventually I installed a block heater and would run my welder/generator on the back of my truck for an hour to power the block heater. As for your boiler. Yeah I am missing mine! The cast is coming off tomorrow Ovi - I hope! Will I be starting the boiler again? I might. I hope they got all the water out when they drained it. My biggest fear!
Yes, the block heater really saves the engine and I hope that you are back on your feet tomorrow! Stop by, we can celebrate with a cup of hot chocolate, or beer. Lol I understand the fear about the boiler water. It has been super cold lately and it would have turned to ice. But I am sure the pros got it all out. The best of luck firing it up again. And get that cast off.
Assuming the person was using the correct hydraulic fluid and have the correct amount it may be a clogged screen (some tractors have them, some don't) or it could've been a clogged or collapsed hydraulic filter. The pump rarely fails. So many little things to keep in mind when working with these tractors, but they are great to own.

Wooow so cold 🥶 drink hot chocolate Ovi and tea 🫖 great work 👍👍👍
I do have to say that the air quality up here is excellent year-round. And it's always better after a hot cup of chocolate.
Ok, soy de San Sebastian y llevo ya como 3 años que sigo tu canal.
Thank you. Gracias por tu apoyo.
Buenos días Ovi. Muy buen video.🥶
El que tiene un tractor aqui en NY definitivamente necesita un heater en su motor.
I can see why you need one👍
