We have a 2500A industrial and man it really gets hot, like Harold said. It has a fully enclosed operator cab with a loader on it. On a -10 to -20 degree day, it will melt the snow and ice off of the windows and the roof within 20 minutes of running. By the time I am done cleaning our driveway(about 200 feet long and 20 feet wide) I have to take off my jacket and just wear a T-Shirt! Also, in the summer, even with the doors off, you sweat so much you stick to the seat! Just so that you don't make the same mistake I did, DO NOT USE THE TOOLBOX!!! I was using the tractor to crimp hay and I put extra shearpins in the tool box. When one broke, I flipped open the cover and grabbed a repacement shear pin. It was so hot, it scalded my hand and I dropped it into the field. I poured my water bottle on it, and it made steam!!! As a loader though, I have no complaints. It has the strongest hydraulics I have ever seen, has one of the best shift patterns and gear ratios for loader work, and is only limited by the weight of the tractor. If you are doing loader work in a muddy area though, consider getting weights for the back and some fluid. Also, if it has it, use the differential lock, it really works. I don't know what we would do without ours, its overall a great tractor.
