Send an e mail address to ............. I will forward a picture. I can't get the forum to accept mine.

Here are the pics of your cab you sent. Your fabrication and paint job looks good.

How many cab owners have broken their glass? We need a survey!

I have 2 cabbed tractors. On my L5740, I've broken the front glass once. On my L6060, I've broken the door once and the front glass twice. The door was broken when I was attaching something to the back of the tractor and pulled forward while under my shed while looking back and hit the post of my shed.

All 3 of the front glasses were broken while hauling the tractors on my trailer between jobs. At about $600 each, it gets expensive and the last 2 happened about 2 weeks apart on the L6060. I now have a glass protector that I use every time I transport either of my tractors.

I started with open station tractors, but....I went to a cab tractor when I found it very difficult to conduct business on the phone in an open station tractor. It's just too loud and I had to stop and reduce engine speed/noise ever time I got a phone call. Now, in a cab, I wear earphones and can continue working and driving while on the phone. Also, in 90+ temps, 100%+ humidity and dusty field conditions, a cab is just much better for my needs.

Please tell us more about the "glass protector".

You can see the windshield protector here on my tractor. And here is a link to the place where I ordered it. I just called them and told them what tractor I have and they custom made it to fit my tractor. Canvas Products for Agricultural, Commercial & Residential — Colby Canvas Company

It attaches with 6 bunge straps and I have not broken a windshield since I got these. The cost me about $275 each.

Have had cab tractors for 16 years. Currently have two and have never broken any glass -- thank goodness.

Also currently have an open station which is used when appropriate.

I like them all as they have there place. Never saw a tractor I didn't like.
