Even more so up here in Canada. A vehicle or machine without a block 
heater is generally not going to be used in winter time. I don't have 
one on my swather or combine but really don't ever want to have to run a 
combine in sub-zero temperatures anyway.
Most of the newer fuel injected gas engines start very well in extremely 
cold weather but I think they are better off to have a few hours 
pre-heating with the block heater.
