How to stay warm in your tractor during winter: 5 tips!

1. Spending comfortable hours in your tractor seat starts with cabin heating

Good cabin heating is essential for spending warm hours in your tractor seat. Many modern tractors have a heating system that distributes air throughout the cabin via the vents. This keeps cold air out and creates a constant, comfortable interior temperature.

Tip: Turn on the heating a few minutes before departure so that the cab is already at the right temperature before you start working.

2. Insulating the cab helps enormously

Heating is one thing, but if the cab isn't properly insulated, you won't stay warm in your tractor seat. Older cabs without insulation can cool down considerably, but with insulation material behind panels and around windows, you can significantly increase comfort. Think about sealing gaps or adding extra insulation between cab panels. This makes a world of difference!

3. Warm up your tractor before sitting down in the driver's seat.

A cold tractor means cold air in the cab. By letting your tractor run for a few minutes before you leave, not only will the engine warm up, but the heating system will also be able to heat more efficiently. This will make the start of your working day much more pleasant. After work, choose a smart, covered parking spot for your tractor, for example in a shed or under a canopy. In any case, make sure the tractor is out of the wind.

4. Wear the right winter clothing when sitting in your tractor seat

A warm cab is nice, but it starts with what you wear when sitting in your tractor seat. Good winter clothing helps you stay warm between trips or when you step out of your tractor. Consider:

• Thermal wear

• Clothing with waterproof and windproof outer layers

• Warm gloves and a hat

• Warm socks and waterproof shoes

By choosing to wear layers, you can quickly adjust your clothing to changing temperatures.

5. Buy a tractor seat with seat heating

In addition to heating and good clothing, there are other ways to stay warm: a tractor seat with seat heating. The advantage of this is that it warms your body immediately, whereas cabin heating, for example, always takes a while to start up. In addition, a heated tractor seat keeps your muscles warm and allows you to relax your back and lower back better, which can help against stiffness and fatigue. If you choose a tractor seat with heating, it will not only keep you nice and warm, it will also increase your seating comfort.
