Ordered a 4320

Take my advise. Get the cab. You can't add on factory cab later and if you you buy aftermarket you will end up spending just as much if not more and not have near as nice a cab. I am currently trading my open station 4520 for a cab 4520. I kick myself in the butt for not buying the cab tractor in the first place.. I was plowing snow yesterday and almost got frost bit. Can't wait until my cab tractor gets here. Good luck with your new purchase you will enjoy it.

I agree with xrjohndeere about the cab, almost everyone who operates in open spaces wants the cab. In the past I thought that was being overly indulgent, last spring when the wind was blowing I used my 110tlb instead of the 820. This strengthened my resolve to get the cab on the new 4520, it just allows me more time to work without being miserable. I also feel there is alot less weather related wear to the cockpit area. Buying the cab has postponed my buying a pull type disc for a year but all things in good time.

Without cab would highly recommend a hardtop canopy - shade helps and keeps rain off as well as some added protection from branches etc.

It will have a canopy, just forgot to list it when I was listing what I ordered.

Have all the cold air I need, just have to open the door to the house. It's going to be 8 degrees tonight with a strong north wind.

My friend down the road has a loaded JD 7030 series if I ever need to use a cab tractor.

Dang.... 8 degrees!! (It's been in the 30's up here.... NO KIDDING - the WHOLE time you guys have been freezing your keester's off!! )

I swear that the weather is like a teeter-totter; with Alaska on one end and the rest of the country on the other end. When you guys are down - we're up - and when you're up: well, we go REALLY down.

Anybody remember when buying a new car that air conditioning was an "option"? You didn't get it unless you ordered it and... I seem to recall one year (and this is SOME time ago) when it was $1,200! Just for air conditioning!

Good point. I paid an extra $1200 for dealer installed AC in a new Acura Integra in 1991. The dealer was surprised I insisted on it...
