If the utv is liquid cooled, I'd be looking at buying a cheap heater core (or salvage one) and plumb it in with a fan (maybe this heater) behind it. My two cents

Ryan with the amount of time your in your tractor, you may want to look up how to make a heated vest. You can cut the sleeves off an old button down shirt and stitch some phone wire to it then plug it into the tractor. A friend of mine made one to plug into his motorcycle and he rides when it's in the 20's no problem. There are many how to's online if you search.

We have a liquid heater system but since its a diesel it takes about an hour to even begin throwing heat.
