CJONE,
Did you say something about snow?
Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I asked this in another thread but saw no response. Have you guys with open station ever tried the heated (12v) snowmobile suits?

Definitely going to have a cab next year!
You won't be sorry. $1300 seemed like a lot for some naugahide and zippers last summer but every windy day out working the tractor this winter proves how good an idea it was. Whatever brand or level of construction you choose will be a huge improvement over facing that wind with a face mask.
That should work. Nothing wrong with build or custom fit your own. I was working full time last summer so had some cash flow so let my computer do all the work. It took less then an hour after UPS dropped it off to have it all on including the canopy which I didn't have with the original tractor.I was planning to build my own, but I think I'll buy Surplus Center's $599 Curtis cab and modify it to fit my tractor. It's a soft side cab, but has a glass windshield and rigid frame doors.
On a side note, our snowfall total this winter so far is around 90". Much better than last year's measly 60".

AND could work in a 'T-shirt'. I love my cab. Glad I paid the extra 6G's for it.I can't say enough good about the cab, anybody [well most] that knocks them does not have one. The benifits far far out weigh the couple of negatives? maybe one that I can think of. The coldest I have operated my tractor this year was -10f and the heater kept up on the lowest fan setting! CJ
I figured the bigger tractor would be too big. My nieghbour has a small property with lots of tight spaces and she's got lots of work for me. She is also a good cook.
