i have a 1650 that is full time cab/thrower duty. i am installing a small electrical heater to clear the windshield and take the chill out since at times I'm in it for an hour or more if we get a large snowfall.

the heater actually puts out pretty good heat but manual says it draws 12 amps on low and 20 amps on high. i don't think my 15 amp electrical system it up to the task... even with led headlights that draw pretty much nothing. I have an electric windshield wiper but only turn on for short periods of time. Also have an led strobe light which draws very little. and the electric pto I'm sure draws at least 3-5 amps. so even on the low setting I've pretty much maxed out my electrical system.

reason i started this thread is i need ideas on how to get more current without making the tractor look stupid lol. i am considering a very small alternator of some sore off the back of the hydro shaft? or how hard would it be to get another stator mounted elsewhere on the machine and just run two stock charging systems? I have another stator flywheel and regulator just not sure where it could fit?

any ideas would be appreciated.

I figure i should have about 30 amps total to do this right.
