[QUOTE="flyerdan, post: 116393, member: 2510"] The specs say that this has a Kubota 3800, so it should have glow plugs, whether they are connected to anything is unknown. They should be pretty easy to spot, if they are there you could run a heavy relay with a momentary push button switch to give them a few second burn before starting. If there aren't any glow plugs, you could (and should anyway, for engine life) install a block heater that you can plug in and pre-heat the engine for a few hours before starting. They are readily available and easy to install, and can be used with a timer so it's ready when you are, like the coffee maker. [/QUOTE]
