3720 cab vs open air

[Rob-D]

I sat in a cabbed tractor for the first time last weekend. Honestly, I didn't care for it much. It was a Kioti DK45 (I think). Visibility was great and the cockpit was comfortable with a nice design of controls and what not.

I noticed immediately that it lacked the outdoors and I found that to be enough that I wouldn't want a cab. I love the elements in the outerdoors. Especially snow. Now, if I owned a farm and did large plots I can see where the cab could almost be a requirement.

The cab felt a bit clostraphobic (spelling??) to me. I love the looks of a cabbed tractor and I do find them to be very inviting.

ditto.

You must have some severe claustrophobia. "...lacked the outdoors...? I want a cab to escape the outdoors.:laughing:

Well the 3720 arrived and it is nice. I went with the deluxe cab and 300cx loader. I did some bush hogging and wow!!! I listened to the radio and a/c with the horse flies looking in!!! Now I am following up with the wheel spacers for added stability. Thanks for all the advice. I am wroking on pictures.:thumbsup:

Good for you, congrats on the new unit - Unverferth 6" will work well, or buy Turf Specials $$$$$$

Getting the wheel spacers should help with stability and make that one nice tractor.:thumbsup: Enjoy your new tractor.

I was in the anti-cab on a CUT camp until I spent last week down in Virginia. Up here in NY, a cab is just silly on one unless you use it for snowblowing. Down South of the Mason-Dixon line I can see where it would be a near neccesity. I feel sorrry for you folks down there who must spend very little of the summer "outdoors", and need to move quickly between air-conditioned areas. I dont know what I would do without snow, and I love the cold for getting work done outside. Up here, it is tough to raise a sweat most any time of year. What a relief it was to get back home.

Sounds like you got nice weather "down there in NY"....Up here in Maine its either so cold your eyelids freeze open or so hot & muggy you think the world is burning up!
