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...

Re: cab heater heat source ??
possible short term solution . Not sure how many hours it would go on a tank . Defiantly something to look into .

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.DavidBarkey wrote: ↑Mon Feb 02, 2026 9:24 amDoes keeping your body warmer help with hands and feet like I have read ?propane1 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 01, 2026 6:26 pmI 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.DavidBarkey wrote: ↑Sun Feb 01, 2026 4:26 pm I was in PA . today and found a heated seat cover on clearance . It is only about 60 watts . 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 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 -
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...

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 .
