Abstract:

Systems, structures and methods are provided for heating an operator's compartment of a working vehicle. The heating system includes a first heat source arranged to direct heat towards at least one control on a control area. A second heat source is arranged so as to direct heat towards the operator's compartment, e.g., by radiating or otherwise moving heat within or about the operator's compartment into the operator's compartment. The second heat source may comprise a heat element mounted within or about the operator's compartment and/or heat drawn from a component of the vehicle, e.g., heat given off by motors, pumps, the battery, inverter, operator support, hydraulic fluid or other components within a power unit of the vehicle.
