A good old fashion blizzard

i have issues when not dry outside with fogging if the air cond is not also on. problem is that the air is much less warm with it on vs off. called my dealer - they claim that many have complained about this issue. only way to defog is to turn on the air cond and loose a good portion of the heat. crazy design flaw.

i would post picts with my blower but we only have 4inches on the ground!

I think a regular fan mounted on the top inside corner of the windshield would be a better solution than running the airconditioner in winter.

will consider that

running air con is actually good for the air con system - needs to stay lubed.
i just turn it on for 5-10 minutes when needed

Another thing you might want to check is the heating core. Moisture could be seeping in through the one of the hot water connections. Not only a visual problem, breathing antifreeze is not good for your health.

My rear window fogs up occassionally. Not enough that I cannot still see out of it. The side windows too but that is less frequent and usually when there is a passenger. I only run the blower on low and for the most part it does well.

FWIW, I've run numerous AG tractors and rubber-tired end loaders. They all had the same problem to some degree.

I have seen this in two vehicles I owned. The first one bugged me for years and I never suspected the heating system until it got so bad I could smell the antifreeze. It just takes a very small leak to fog up a windshield. This is why it usually cannot be seen and repaired. If there is someway to test the droplets on the windshield, I would bet you'll find a trace of antifreeze.

Here are a couple of pics of the TCat in the snow.

Hey Jabba...welcome aboard. You've got a beautiful home! That was some snowfall...I'll bet the snowblower's looking pretty good now, huh?

We just got the tail end of that storm up here in Canada. Only 6" of snow but it was -30 C and blowing hard.

The wind threw the snow right back at the snow blower. Then it froze to the windshield. It was a long frustrating night, cleaning the windows every 10 minutes.

I'm having the same problems as everyone else it seems. The A/C has to run to prevent fog on the glass but then you don't get as much heat. My glass not only fogged up but then iced up because it was so cold in the cab.
I bought an auxilary fan and 12 v heater and they made a difference. I hung the heater up by the windshied wipers to melt off the ice that collected on them.

I'm thinking of installing an extra heating system in the heat liner to blow on the front and rear glass. Hope they get this problem fixed by the next model series.

Great to see so many tc in action.

I have the same issue with windows fogging up in my Toolcats. The "solution" I use is to turn up the blower a notch, and crack the passenger side window. As long as the snow is not blowing in the cracked window, the windows stay perfectly clear.

Next time you see a build up on the inside see if it feels slippery.
