5E limited heater

Wow, I maybe should say I have never even run my tractor at below 10 degrees since new. Maybe a winter front would help with your issue? -25 is darn cold and there is alot of glass in those cabs to lose heat through!

Ya, after having a good look I would say the coolant just isn't getting warm enough to provide adequet heat. I asked the dealer but they don't offer a winter grille cover, I will probably make one.

My tractor wasn't getting up to temperature either, it would get to 60*C (dealer said it wasn't even at the temperature to open up the thermostat, 80*C.) I made a cover out if cardboard that covers 3/4 of my radiator and now my cab gets extra toasty and the engine runs at a steady 86*C

Thanks Corey, I will do that. I was going to last year but I thought there must be something wrong to have so little heat. Its been a pretty cold start to the winter here, from the sounds of it it has been even worse in the west, I heard almost -50 without the windchill in norther Sask.

No problem Matt, it's been really cold here too -45 I was shocked the tractor even started that day. Let us know how it worked.
