The Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnetic Heater w/ Thermostat # KH1155 can stay plugged in all the time. It has a thermostat that will turn off when the temp reaches 275 degrees Fahrenheit. This will prevent overheating of the oil or the heating unit itself. It will keep your John Deer tractor happy when it's cold out.
