if you don't mind sitting in an aquarium in the sun, then buy the tractor with heat and no a/c. A cab tractor needs a/c! What is TYM thinking? I wouldn't even consider no a/c with a cab. I've done it. It is no fun at all. Take that TYM off your wishlist is my opinion. Or else go topless.
Yep, seems like it would get hot, even with the doors off. Mainly want the cab for snowblowing. When I was a kid, we had an old Sears garden tractor with a blower. I always wore all my snowmobiling clothing, including the helmet and shield to be able to see. Cab would be a huge improvement over that!

Mine is stock except for the Stainless Steel Pypes cat back exhaust system. It has the automatic so only 400 HP but that's more than enough. I was going to get the Vararam cold air intake but they don't make one for a 2012 yet. They have them for 10/11 but the radiator filler cap on the 12 is not in the center like the 10/11. 2 1/2 years old and only 6K miles. Never been driven in winter. Its garaged as soon as we get the first snow and the salters come out. Every option except sunroof. I have the build sheet for it. Glad I'm replying to the OP, Don't want to get blamed for Hijacking.
George, we sure think alike a lot. Had the Veraram intake on mine too! Never did put a tune on the motor though. Sold the car after 4 years with just over 14k on it. Back on topic, I called the dealer today with the Craigslist ad. Rimguard in the rear tires is included with the price of 24,340. He also said there is a probable price adjustment of 3% as of July 1. I also asked him why no cab available for the 3032. He wasn't sure, but thought it might be the additional power loss thru the A/C compressor might be the reason.

So, Have you decided to get it before July 1st. I don't think you can go wrong and with loaded tires too. Mine did not come loaded. I'm going to order the tool from Gemplers and then have to order 70 gallons of washer antifreeze (35 gallon for each side) and fill my own. Originally I wasn't going to load them but moving some implements around with the forks the rear end gets pretty light.
Last week I pulled down a dead tree with the tractor, delimbed it and used the forks and thumb to move the tree sections. Had to put my rear ballast on because even a dead tree has quite a bit of weight. Used it today after work. I had been fixing up a used flail mower and box blade I just bought. Paint was fully dried by today. rather than hook to 3 pt. I installed lift chains on the box blade positioned them so it lifts evenly and used the loader forks to moved them out of garage. Will put the flail back in the garage in a couple days when my roller bearings arrive. Even though I don't have a farm I find plenty of uses for it.

I know the feeling. I financed my last tractor and was very happy the day I paid it off. This time I sold my last tractor and a 1T dump truck and paid cash. No bank so it was even harder to take the money out of my pocket. Now that its done I'm glad I did it. This tractor will outlast me. Same reason I have my '12 Camaro and '13 truck. For the low miles I put on them they will outlast me too. Hopefully the last vehicles I'll ever have to buy.
BTW, I never had a problem spending OPM (Other Peoples Money) the problem I had was I had to pay it back monthly.
