Buying Advice To Cab or Not to Cab

[BX23D]

At 34 a tractor was only a twinkle in my eye. I have more than 30 years over you and have had a, cabless, tractor for about 10 years now with about 1/20 of your land. Don't wait 30 years if you don't have to. I am now thinking the same thing, get a cab, even if just to keep out of the blowing wind & snow. But it needs to be a fancy cab to keep the horse and deer flies, etc. out.

Nope. It's kind of like the old saying that nobody ever got in a gunfight and went out the next day and bought a smaller caliber gun.

Or anyone in a gunfight said "you know I just have too MUCH ammunition"

the ONLY time ive regretted my cab is when i had to regrade the overhang in the horse barn. The cab wouldnt fit.

my old JD870 just drove right thru it. But heck, ive had to grade it 2 times in 17 years.

If i have to do it again, ill have my buddy with his smaller Kubota trailer out here and take care of it for me.

I maybe to late. I have a 2013 Kubota B-2920, I bought new. I have a soft side cab with a heater of my own design. My cab cost $550, and heater around $200. In the summer I can remove the doors, rear curtain and windshield. Leaving the frame and top. A hard cab for my tractor was $3200. $750 or $3200? javahjoe, MIO, P K Junky, aka Don Indiana.

Hi everyone. So to follow this thread up. Went out to the dealer. It was 12 degrees out with a strong 10-15 mph wind. Hopped on a CK30 with no cab just to get a feel for the open station. Then hopped in the DK45 with cab. Cranked up the heat, moved some snow.

The DK will be delivered next week :thumbsup:

Congratulations on your new tractor, how did you equip it, rear remotes etc.?

Loaded tires with Rim Guard and on the advice on everyone here, got the second remote added as well. Also a block heater installed.

I had chain hooks added to mine and three rear remotes and some other things, but I know it can get expensive really fast. I would strongly recommend a hydraulic top-link, I got my last one from Brian at FitRite.

Enjoy your new tractor and keep the camera handy.:thumbsup:

Congratulations, and welcome to the pack!.. I doubt you will second guess your choice, especially in a MN. winter
