I notice most members are saying they don't have much cab heat,but we are going through a heat wave here and I find when the fan kicks in I get a lot of heat through the shifter and emergency brake,like the heater is on,
We quit riding at about -10 or perhaps 0 degrees if the wind is above 20 MPH. We have a long north/south connector that is all open fields for most of the 15 mile length and if the wind is out of the west it can be brutal without wind coverage! Of course the Yamaha snowmobiles don't care but if your plan is a 100-150 mile ride your body can take a beating from the cold!Holy crap!!!! 25 below zero???? We might get to 6 or 7 below for a few nights here in Missouri
it can get to -35 here in north west bc,but varies every winter,road my ranger last year down to -15 with just a cowling around exhaust and 4'' pipe into cabI don't know where your from but it reached -25 Degrees F here last winter and I suspect that with all of our snowmobile gear on the Wolverine would be fine, but I'd still miss the engine heat on my feet and lower legs, the heated grips and I know my wife would miss her heated seat! LOL! I guess it doesn't get too cold by you but I can't tell because you don't provide a location!
Our snowmobile club has about 200 miles of trails that we prep, sign, and groom from December through March so our dirt rides get put away in November. We average about 160" of snow each year so off roading is left strictly to snowmobiles when the snow is on the ground unless you have a track kit installed! Orv's with track kits are not allowed on the snowmobile trails, too wide.it can get to -35 here in north west bc,but varies every winter,road my ranger last year down to -15 with just a cowling around exhaust and 4'' pipe into cab
that's too hot for me to even be outside,would have to get the 1100 Kubota with air conditioner.we had the wolverine out on a 100 * + day and there is no comparison to my previous teryx and commander, the commander especially hot. even the rhinos were on the warm side. Viking was decent as is wolverine. in fact some friends with those brands did not join our group due to the in cab heat last trip. I am more and more impressed with the wolverine for many reasons.
