wow, synthetic 15 40 year round.$$$ i drove a 133 thomas for a while but didnt know enuf about one to actually operate it. i only do a couple of parking lots and acreage type work averaging 10-20 hours a month on weekends
the original block heater gave out on mine, (BTW it has a peugeut diesel) i put a 1500watt temro circulator block heater on it and it heats it in about 30 mins.
ive looked at the wheatland one that bolts to the bucket side... is yours it the chain or direct drive?
the bobcat one is $2500, so its cost prohibitive for a very small business
