transmition heater on 88 series

Does anyone out there use the transmition heater on their 88
series tractor in the winter. I'm having trouble with the pto
breaking the spreader loose when it to o degrees an below on
my 5088. In the past IV used the 806 and that would break it
loose with no problem. IV been told to run the transmition
heater to help the problem. They are suppost to shift better
to.the pto was gone through last month found nothing wrong.
I plugged the heater tonight before milking an checked it 2
hours later and it was warming up nicely. I will see how it acts
tomorrow.
 
We have a 5488 on our grain only farm. We generally park it in the very back of the shed for winter due to the temperature sensitivity of the main clutches. Basically, dont want to have to move it!

Temp is very important to those tractors!

Look in the manual because I know on the new CaseIH tractors they say to plug them in after the transmission is warmed up otherwise you will scorch the oil around the heater plug. Have fun with chores!
