to plug block heaters into a timer. I plugged the 200 in on Sunday thinking I may need it for a job, anyway got the job done without it, forgot about it, so today Friday I walk thru the shed and it is still plugged in. O well that's not going to help this months electric bill.

Farmer I worked for years ago had a small fleet of trucks that were all plugged in with timers. A good plan when there is a daily schedule. Now it's hit and miss as there is no routine. I plugged the 7060 last night so ready to haul grain this morning and stuck to my plan. The 200 hooked to the feed wagon was not plugged in as uncle elected to pick corn for a friend so it would not start.

45 minutes on the block heater and the 6060 starts up fine. Can’t image a 200 taking any longer than that.

I trenched a line from the house to the shed I flip a switch an hr or so before I need to start the 8030 works good for me.
