Good afternoon Steve,
I have purchased from Messicks a BX24 two years ago. In the cold of winter I have a hard time starting this unit. Do I have an option for a heating element? If so do you have one in stock/Part Number and Price. The BX24 sits out covered all year. The fuel is treated for cold weather. Oil is changed frequently, Lighter oil for cold winter months. When the temp. was in the 40's last week it started like new.
A happy Kubota BX24 owner.

Yes actually. There is a block heater available, at this point we show 1 in stock. Its an easy install, a plug comes out of the block and this slides in. It does require you to drain the antifreze so have some on hand to refill it. Typicaly we don't have many cold weather problems with Kubota's, however this is a good solution for extreme days.
