In no particular order, but equipment I recognise I use frequently. Probably missing a bunch of other stuff.
- Cab heating (keep warm when cold)
- engine block heater (start vehicle below -25C)
- windscreen wipers (clear snow/dust from windows)
- demister/deicer (quickly clear fog/ice from windows)
- air suspension seats (stop spine popping out of butt)
- Cab air-conditioning (keep cool when hot)
- cab air filtration (reduce chance of nasty lung conditions / death)
- power-steering (be able to turn without arms falling off)
- wet-braking (nice to have breaks when you need them)
- a handbrake that works (safely keep vehicle running while unmanned)
- multiple lockable diffs (you WILL get stuck in mud without these)
- multiple range gearing (go super slow without stalling and also go fast enough on highway)
- quick-reverse (switch from forwards to backwards quickly)
- reversing/positioning cameras (so you dont hit stuff you dont want to hit, and do hit stuff you want to hit)
- bluetooth entertainment system (podcasts, audiobooks)
- soundproofing (soooo loud otherwise)
- winch (get unstuck without waiting for help)
- CTIS (save about 20 mins a day solely adjusting tyre pressure from field/road)
Im sure you can do without a bunch of that, but you will just be miserable for much of the year (or you dont actually spend much time operating).
I guess you could add safety equipment to that as well. Rollcage, multi-point harness, etc.
Theres also the obvious stuff that you just need to do the job - tow hitches, 3-pt mounts, PTOs, etc.
