as much as heating may be a concern. it is getting the bloody wind off you that makes a huge difference in winter. at least for me. i end up in cover alls and good jacket plus some layers regardless to deal with snow cleaning and like. by the time cab warms up, i am already done and moving on.
on other hand in winter, is fogging up the windows, cheap computer fans can work as little defrosting fans if placed in correct areas. all ya need is the 2 wire version, if they come with 3, chop the third wire off. and just use the red/black, and a generic cheap dip switch.
altenator check to make sure you have a large enough one is big thing. so ya not turning off tractor, and finding it will not start back up. when ya far away from the shed
the upper front and rear lights are major deal for me. *kiddo* i suppose in me, but they have helped out a lot.
if you can find yourself a rubber mat that will fit the floor. just make sure you can lift it up in 2 to 3 pieces possibly. the mat helps cover up holes / seals things up. but once you use tractor a few times out in the mud, and getting in and out. it is nice to remove mat, and get the dirt out.
be careful of mirrors. make sure you can get to fuel tank if putting on side mirrors. (make sure they are foldable and/or detachable as well) so when ya nail a tree with them, you can replace them
========
if ya having problems to getting seals to seal. spray foam can be your friend. just spray some. (if you do to much or get some you don't want) leave it and let it cure for a couple days or longer and then go back and scrap it off. (if ya don't ya end up with a big mess).
==========
make sure you get all your hyd leaks fixed or any other oil leak fix that will be inside the cabin. once ya close it up. that oil will get to you quickly!
==========
put some foam in the roof. its not for insulation or sound proofing, it is from nailing top of ya head on the roof when ya stand up!

weather stripping for doors/windows. be extremely careful, don't create extra hard edges, that might cause window or door. to nail against causing some sort of flexing in window or door. reason? the glass may brake.
