It really depends on the fuel system, age of the engine, The air heater is good but no substitute for a block heater. I am from Washington states east side and have been a diesel mechanic for some time. Cat, Cummins, Detroit, International and all the rest start better these days but a block heater is so much cheaper than a burned up starter, and the anxiety a no start situation can cause. Just don't run the engine with the heater plugged in. Use a timer to heat or turn on before you figure you will need it. I went on many of road calls in 15 years trying to start this stuff. Block heaters are cheap.

My dealer recommended 60" for a 790, I went with a commercial grade Befco.
finish mower 3ph rear mount. If you ck. out Befco.com I think they show what is recommended for pto hp. etc. They also have some other nice equipment.
I had worked on 72" commrcial Toros years ago.(good mower) if you buy cheap at any length it better be a hobbie or they won't hold up. Befco's are not cheap.
My dealer could have sold me the 72" he had in stock but ordered in a 60".
He must of had his reason's He was the General manager of the store.

I purchased a 790 4x4 with ag tires loaded. A loader and a 5ft. Befco finishing mower. I opted to by a set of turfs on rims loaded for front and rear. (reqired all 4 because it is 4x4) The cost was $1200 dollars extra. Sounds like you could get by with turfs but if you load them and are in the rough where a flat tire could be a problem. One flat repair and refill with calcium would pay for a set of weights for the wheels. If you get a 2wheel drive then consider a industrial on rear and a turf on the front. How nice do you want your ground to look after you mow? What work will you do the most of? Good Luck, John
