14 degrees and I had a brainstorm.....

Anonymous-0 · Feb 1, 2012

While driving my tractor without heat to pick up hay... At least wind isn't a big problem because I have the cab and going the direction that the wind blows in the back there is a roundbale blocking it....
But how nice would it be to have a pair of coveralls with some heat net (??) in them and you just plug a cable into the cigarette lighter????

Course you'd hafta remember to unplug it and not pee your pants but that shouldn't be too hard......

Somebody thought about it first.

Bomber crews in WWII had heated clothing, too.

They make cold weather motorcycle riding gear that plugs in and heats up. Pretty pricey though. Pete

I had a heated vest and pair of shorts for motorcycle riding. It
was great on fall days when it was sunny and nice but had a
cool breeze and under 50 degrees. My best had a control but
the pants only had high and low. They are a bit pricey but well
worth the money.

My granddad's heated suit was shot out over Germany. His hands froze to the gun and when they landed in England (Knettishall) had to be removed by surgeons. They must work!

Why dont you put heat in your tractor? its really easy to do.

Stephen Newell · Feb 1, 2012

Gore-tec and polypropylene would be a lot simpler.

Just go to your local BMW motorcycle dealer. every serious BMW rider has a set. Whenever you see a motorcycle out in cold weather here it is a BMW.

Stop and think how did we put food on the table before you were born and spoiled 14 aint cold.

Dave,

I used to have a pair of electric socks. Each sock was powered with a single D cell battery. I didn't think that they made much, if any, difference. I finally quit using them. Maybe they were defective from the beginning, but they really didn't work for me.

Sure wish we had something like that when we used to feed 1000 head of beef cows with a team of horses and bobsled anywhere from 0 to -25 every morning!

Look for snowmobiler's heated clothing or motorcyclist's heated clothing. Snowmobile clothing should be heavily discounted this year. Possibly also available much cheaper as surplus military clothes or aircraft crew's clothing. Is Axe Man Surplus still in business?

You can get 12 volt electric blankets for use in vehicles.

Honda makes a heated riding suit that they sell to their gold wing customers.
