Mx6000 fogs up on the inside when pushing snow.

Dealer basically told me that there isn’t a fix for this. Has anyone else came across this? If o what did you do to fix it?
TIA

Happens to me all the time. I usually run defrost on high and temp slid over to hot with AC on. Dries out the cabin air.

ya we tried that. Didn’t work

Turn the AC on,dries the air+open a window.Been plowing with my cabbed Kubota for ten years and no problem.

Mine steam up windows when first starting up moving or blowing snow. I crack 1 window and press a/c button on while setting temp on highest heat. After all fogging is gone, i can close window and turn off ac compressor, and fog never returns. Been like that for 10 years now.

Sounds like the factory heater & blower isn't up to the task.

Add a supplemental 12V heater and fan pointed at windshield if needed. I was in a wheel loader that had a 12v heater/fan combo screwed to the dash to keep the windshield clean.

Same here. I run the ac and heat together and have the fresh air vent open. Never had a fogging issue.

How about fresh air / recirc air? Tried playin with those?

I run a road grader in a wide range of temps. I never turn off the AC. Just regulate the temp with the heat knob. Sometimes when I first crank the grader in cold temps (10F or less) it will fog the windows for about 5 minutes. After that, no problem.

Not being familiar with your tractor, does it pressurize the cab when the heat/AC fan is running?

One thing;the cabs are pretty well sealed and in winter we drag in some snow on our boots;so there is bound to be a lot of moisture in the air.As stated turn on the air and open a window for a while.

mine also has a lever for switching air flow from exterior air for makeup to recirc air. i find it frosts the glass alot more if its on recirc

Yep. Thats why I asked if it pressurized?

Or breathing. Need to stop breaking & pumping out warm humid air.

Like others have said, A/C dehumidifies air. Just make sure you drink a lot of water to avoid dehydration working in really dry air. I end up parched plowing snow in a cab with heat & A/C on.

does the mx6000 have defroster grids... I have the same problem on my GL4740 if I forget to turn on the A/C. Like others said, defrost on, fan on high, A/C on, and I think most important; fresh outside air not recirculate.

With our Jack Russell in the cab,I always seem to need A/c and a side window open to stay defogged.
