For those of you that have followed my mid-PTO and snowblower installations, I'm starting a search for a cab for my JD790 for wintertime snowblowing use. (I've blown the budget this far why stop now...besides I'm helping the economy!)
Looking thru TBN archives, I've found the following manufactures of cabs: Curtis, Femco, Sims, Cozy Cabs-Custom Products, Jodale-Perry, Laurin, Fremar and many generic & roll-your-own modifications. Did I miss any?
Cost is always an issue, however I would like it to be durable (hard or soft sides?). If possible I would like to buy US made although the Canadians likely have lots of experience with cabs. Any recommendations or comments?
Also if you have a cab heater, how well do they work? Do they keep the windshield reasonably clear? Can you explain how it's connected into the cooling system? Are there adapters that connect into the large upper/lower radiator hoses, or are there other smaller connections off the water pump and engine? How difficult is it to remove the cab heater in summer (quick disconnects)?
Any comments welcome. Thanks,
