Best Location and Size for Magnetic Heater in 763g Bobcat

Question:

What is the ideal location for a magnetic heater? I purchased two hose heaters in the wrong sizes (1.25 and 1.5 inches) - what size is needed for a 763g unit? Where is the best, most convenient place to install a heater for working in cold temperatures? Stay warm and comfortable!

Starting up a machine in cold weather should be a breeze. I recently started mine without any issues when the temperature was a frigid 5 degrees.

When it comes to finding the best spot for a magnetic heater, Biggy asked for advice on the best location to install it. Purchasing the wrong sizes, 1.25 and 1.5, for a 763 g vehicle, he was looking for a quick and easy solution to combat the cold weather. If you are dealing with a Kubota motor, you can easily locate the appropriate heater on Kat's website, a reputable heater manufacturer. Instead of a traditional heater, consider using a Coleman tent heater, which can be conveniently slid under the motor for quick warming in just 30-40 minutes. These heaters run on camping fuel, eliminating the need for electricity, and can often be found at affordable prices through yard sales, auctions, or listings on Craigslist. Stay warm without the hassle of permanent installation!

One of the best ideas I've ever had.

When installing a magnetic heater on a skid steer, it is best to place it on the bottom of the oil pan for optimal performance. Although mounting it anywhere on the engine can help, a flat spot is ideal, with the bottom of the pan typically being the only flat area available. While magnetic heaters are effective, a water heater is even more efficient. With the right slope, you can achieve proper water flow with just one hose at a 45-degree angle from horizontal/vertical.
