That could be a quick easy way to get some heat in the cab...
I googled Amazon and found "Golf Cart Heaters"

That could work...

possible short term solution . Not sure how many hours it would go on a tank . Defiantly something to look into .

I am going to try it and see if I can keep my core warmer then maybe I can keep better blood flow to my hands and feet . I am still going to look at an actual heater system . Something I can reverse or disable for summer . I plan on putting a deck on it this summer with screen doors for when the bugs are bad .
I have three heated seats. One in my Ford cab tractor, one on my John Deere H3, no cab, and one in my truck. All work good.

Does keeping your body warmer help with hands and feet like I have read ?
Helps a bit Dave. But you’d still need some thing for your hands and feet I’d say. I don’t seem to have cold feet, it’s my hands that bother me.

I agree with Noel. Carbon monoxide poisoning is a real thing.
I would not even consider putting that in a cab with me.

Good Catch Noel - My bad - :headbash: - I'll admit I didn't think of CO in a mostly enclosed space... :109:
I guess golf carts can get away with it because they just have a canopy and no side curtains...

It's great that we are all looking out for each other... :worship:

I put the heated seat cover on this morning and old man winter decided I needed to try it out . Now it wasn't as cold as it has been here . I can tell you it got hot enough I had to turn it off . Friday night the temps are suppose to drop a lot and get more snow . I will be able to get a bettter test of it Saturday morn .

That style of heater are very clean burning , so I don't think CO would be an issue with it unless it was not working properly . That being said CO2 in large amounts is very bad too .
