Weather Brake Heater Enclosure for Kubota Revisit

[rgevans871]

A week or so ago, I posted a rather negative review of the FEMCO Weather Brake during my installation of this enclosure and after I had inquired if anyone had any comments on this accessory. Response was minimal which I think means that this old style enclosure is not very popular. In all fairness to FEMCO, I have to adjust my assessment of their product. It fit remarkably well with no drilling of holes. I suspect the vinyl used is tougher than the earlier canvas versions. Visibility is a disadvantage as the gentlemen from Missouri pointed out, but I am adapting to that deficiency and didn't run over anything in the last snow removal. The permanent attachment of numerous velcro strips to the tractor is not great and I think un-attaching the mating velcro on the vinyl is going to have to be done carefully to avoid tearing them away from the vinyl. I believe from my first trial run, that this is certainly an improvement from sitting on an open seat, not nearly as nice as a heated cab with the radio on, but the price is right.

Not familiar with it Ron but any cover sure beats no cover. You can install some boat top snaps on the cover and tractor then not worry about the velcro letting go.
