I just came in from 7 degree weather after 1.5 hours using the 446 with cab and caster. My hands are the only part of me that ever gets cold. I had about two feet of snow that accumulated over the two weeks we were gone. Very light snow on top of heavy on the bottom with some ice. The caster handled it perfectly but I did have to back up and ram the pile a few times by the road where the plow left a mess.

Saw this idea on my FB feed this morning - interesting idea, Chinese diesel heaters are pretty cheap - and it would probably put out enough heat that you could work in shorts and a T-shirt
:rofl:

That is someone getting full use out of their tractor package...

What's mounted to the left loader arm? I see a pull starter involved.

Good Question - might be a small generator? The winch setup on the box blade is interesting too...

I do like the box blade winch combo. Sort of a logging winch setup I guess. You're not going to run production with that, but dealing with the odd tree here and there it would be nice.
