Cheap heat for uncabbed tractor plus intake preheat?

You can still buy "heat housers". They cover the engine sides and wrap around the operator station. They were in common use when you got on all the tractors from the rear.

They also have, had them for side entrys also;
Femco Tractor Weather Brake Heat Houser

They were much better then nothing and a considerable amount of heat would blow back through,
it would be enough to melt the snow off your boots after a while. I would recommend a roof or canopy.

Time for you to put on your red flannels
A snow mobile suit would be helpful!!!

Yep

I got a lithium ion powered vest for Christmas, and I ordered the diesel heater, but not sure whether it will arrive- they refunded my money once and I ordered again.

Also looked through amazons list of 12 volt seat heaters and ordered one of those as well.
Temp came up almost into the mid 40's today, been raining cats and dogs non stop for almost 2 days.

In our area now I would be worrying about building roof collapse if it isn't built for the snow load.

A Cabbed tractor Sure sounds NICE.

I don't know about anyone else, but when I'm out plowing snow, it's my hands that get cold. I wish someone would make heated steering wheel like cars have. Shouldn't be that hard. Just a steering wheel and a bunch of adapters for various tractors. I'll take the first one. Heated covers need to be plugged in to cigareete lighters and are not for use while driving. Thay are a gimmick.

Heated steering wheel sounds great but I typically use the steering wheel knob with my left hand and the right is constantly on the loader controls so it really wouldn't help much.

I just googled heated gloves and socks. Lots of options for both.

I found 2 years ago that my Covid mask is really comfortable on cold/windy days and it keeps the cold off my face and warms the air I breath.

If you apply a moisturizer to your face before you go out, it greatly reduces wind chill. Think about the people who swim English Channel, coving themselves in some sort of lard/grease/gel

I do it all the time. It works... Besides, I'm not ready for the leather skin look yet.

If you cover yourself in lard before going out in the snow you will attract the wolves
