Steve,

I have mine on a 24 hr outdoor timer, comes on at 5:30 AM and shuts off at 9 AM
I usually leave at 7:30 and even at 35 below it starts well I never need to remember to turn anything on or off just plug in. I got a 1500 watt heater hose tank heater at a garage sale but this maybe a winter of rest for my TD Or maybe it will be a good heater for veggie oil when I get around to converting My Mi16 is much more winter friendly

Robert,

I went through a lot of winters in Maine and Upstate NY with the diesels in my sig. I got by just fine with a lower radiator hose heater in each of them. I had an inside switch for an outdoor receptacle, and even on the coldest nights, I'd turn it on when I first got up, and the engine would fire up smoke free an hour or so later. The heater was sending out warm air before I got to the road. They were about $15, if I remember correctly, not too difficult to install, and seemed to last about three years.
