Does the L3560 come with block heater?

New member here with my first post. I'm waiting for my new 2016 tractor to be delivered hopefully next week. I searched on-line but couldn't find an answer and the dealer I bought it from is closed for the 3 day weekend. Does it come with a factory installed block heater stock?

Thanks,
Ted

No, or at least mine did not. I asked my dealer about installing one, and he said you won't need it. And I haven't so far, two Michigan winters. Lots of people add them just to make sure. You'll love your 3560. Get the owner's manual before it comes and read up on the regeneration protocol and all the cool things that it comes with, so you can ask good questions when it is delivered.

Thanks for the info. I asked for the manual, but they didn't have one. It's still with the tractor in a shipping container at a distributor about 100 miles away. I looked on-line for a free download, but no luck. I'll be keeping the tractor in my drive in basement workshop so I doubt I'll need a heater, but was curious if it came with one.

Thanks,

Every diesel engine that Kubota makes, do not come with a block heater. It is an accessory!

I agree, the Kubotas are the best starting units when it's with glow plugs only.
