P1000 Simple Defroster for Glass Windshield?

[Montster]

I have a hard cab and glass windshield. I don't have a heater unit, and I am trying to avoid paying for a whole heater unit, as I have read they aren't the most effective, and on top of that with the warming of the seat, I stay warm anyways. However, my windshield does fog up, when I am plowing snow. I was wondering if any of you guys would happen to know of any type of fan, or defroster of some type, that would be effective, inexpensive, somewhat easy to install, and wouldn't burn my electrical system or wiring up? I have seen some of these types of gadgets for sale online, but I have my doubts on their effectiveness, or their draw on the electrical system. I would really like to know if anyone has any good experiences with anything like this, and which gadget it is, that you guys would recommend if any.

Ok. I have to ask. How do you know? What happened with those?

Well they are exactly what you pay for. They don't work. Take all your seat insulation out and the bottom door on the firewall. I have been plowing all winter and it stays warm enough. I have a hand squeegee to wipe away the condensation. I plow in a hoodie and coat with no gloves. Coldest has been about 10°. I was looking into the "Mr Heater Little buddy heater" golf cart heater. If I did anything. I honestly think I won't ever put a heater in. Not worth the maintenance.

My heater is worth it’s weight in gold IMO. Whom ever told you they aren’t effective is full of crap.

Look at this way...if coolant heaters aren’t effective then why are they in cars and trucks?

If you want to be cheap that’s one thing, but coolant heaters have value and are far and away safer than a buddy heater or some electrical contraption.

vikes what heater do you have?

Oh I don't disagree with you. I have a full soft cab, insulation and a glass windshield. For me it works fine. If I was out in it in the winter for 8 hrs a day, might be a different story. And I hate more maintenance than I need. I don't wanna have to worry about vents or fans being clogged from summer riding. Lol.

@Gabbas , my comment wasn’t directed at you, more the OP.

hard cab and no heater seems silly to me. A heater isn’t that much more expensive.

I have the aftermarket inferno heater. It cranks out the heat like crazy.

there’s hundreds of threads on the site about installing heaters. a simple search will yield many threads.

I do advise that you block the main radiator, it makes a big difference in engine warm up time and heat output of a heater if you install one.

I use this simple 12v fan attached to the back window facing towards the windshield and it works great keeping the it from fogging up. No heat needed. It just keeps the air moving in the cab so the moisture doesn't stick the windshield. I was skeptical because I thought I was going to have to go the full heater route - which I did not. I would say that it worked down to the single digits while I was plowing for more than a hour.
