Heater install on the new Rhino ?

Sounds good Mark, I have been doing trail clearing the last few days, we shouldn't touch a tree all the way to the cabin South of Amisk. I made it up there today and met the trapper that owns the place.
I decided to try and make a windshield for the machine, it turned out ok , not bad a $70.00 piece of lexan from the Boyle co op and six pipe clamps.

Hi Guys, the piece I bought was 24 x 48 x 1/4 thick. the distance between the pipes on the rhino is 47 1/2 so you couldn't ask for any better. You can buy a 4x8 sheet for around $300.00 or the small piece for 60.00 .Very easy to cut with a fine blade on a jig saw. I made a templet out of cardboard marked it out and cut it. I cut it at about mid speed on the dial and don't push to hard. I put thick sticky backed foam on the hood and the roll bar for the window to sit on.

I just spent the last two days using the Rhino for muskeg freeze down on our winter roads, the heat coming out of the thing is great, along with the windshield and insulated coveralls it was like summer in the cab.
I was pulling four 18 inch superduty tires on muskeg and snow, this machine is
incredible, when I was breaking through I just hit the gas and it pulled me out, I was quite suprised given it's weight.
