can a 2320 handle powering a cab heater?

After seeing some pics of the homemade cab in the built it yourself section, has me thinking of a new summer project. I was wondering though about using a small cab heater on a 2320. I know it has a small alt and a heater draws alot of power, so i was wondering if the 2320 could handle it or not. Would be nice to plow snow with a little warmth!

I don't think the alternator will handle an electric heater. There is a high-output alternator available though for about $380 IIRC...There are also heater's you can plumb into the coolant line also like THIS one from Curtis.

Yep the curtis heater that is plumbed into the water pipes is the one to get.

I have one on my 2210 that is plumbed into the coolant system. All you need is a small radiator core some fittings and a low-draw blower.
