X728 First time in snow

I'm guessing the channel iron uprights are for roll-back protection? As in keeping a log that rolled back off the loader from coming through the cab?

Jenkisph, I had the dealer install cab. Cab came off of X485 I had which I put on and it's not an easy task and there is a lot involved in installing heater.

I like the cab and loader setup for moving snow and I bet that is a real handy thing to own for winter in your locale. I use a 5' rearblade with my x749 and it does a decent job with a 12" snow fall.

Wish Deere had a quick and easy way to add and remove a winter cab on these machines. If they did I would have one for winter use. Most of the year I wouldn't want any of the cab remnants in the way.

That is a nice setup you have with the cab and 45 loader.:thumbsup:

I had the loader on X485 before switching to X728, so it's about 8 years old and have moved a lot with it. The uprights have saved me a few times, it's amazing what you'll move when you have a loader.
