Cab Heaters

If you are thinking about removing your heater during the summer you might want to think about designing in quick connects for the coolant connections....just a thought

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I've been out of town for a couple of days. I have no plans of taking out the haeter for the summer. I leave my cab on all year and just remove the doors and windows in the summer. Thanks for the thought anyway, it might help out someone else.

Like others have said, Curtis makes a heater that is very straightforward and works great. I have one in my Curtis Cab and it keeps me toasty in the winter when snow blowing with my B2910. It's a big imrprovement from my previous set-up - - snowblowing using a B7500 with no cab. Someone else suggested putting an in-line shut-off valve in the hosing for the heater - - and I would strongly recommend that as well. I have that in my set-up and just a twist of the valve shuts off the heat to the cab in the summer, and on in the winter. You also may want to consider installing a fan. I have one in my Curtis, and find it very helpful to circulate air when the cab is being heated, and it helps to keep me cooler in the summer heat (my cab is the soft side variety, on which I can take off the doors and the back window in the summer).
