Look up artic fox they have a heater for almost any application, I put one in my boom trucks oil tank last year,it runs of the engine coolant. On a -20 C day it will warm the oil to +10 in less than an hour

Why do you want to warm the hydraulic oil in the M, I am from NC Penna. where winters get fairly cold but not as bad as our neighbors to the North. I had worked for a Case dealer for 50+ years and never had a customer ask that question and we sold thousands of BH/LDRS during my employment.

That being said, there is a magnetic heater you could put on the hydraulic tank that would warm it. Are you having a starting issue that you are trying to correct?

Please elaborate on the reason you would add it.

Thank You,

Mel

I live in SoDak and 25 below is not uncommon last week has been 10 to 15 below. I dont want to blow any seals or have to wait 45 min after i start it to warm the hydraulic oil up. I have looked at the heater that Arctic Fox sell but dont quite understand how to install them.

Which model of heater were you trying to figure how to hook up ? On the Arctic Fox homepage go to the far left side and you will see a menu bar that says --
Catalogs and Literature --- a drop down list will appear and you can choose the --- Installation and Operating Instructions bar. When you open that bar choose which product you are interested in.
