I have a 2008 CK35HST with a rear mount 72" snowblower. Has anyone installed one of those aftermarket vinyl cabs? They seem to be quite pricey for what they are, but staying out of the manufactured blizzard while snowblowing would be nice. Also wondering how much of a PIA it is to install and remove every season as it would come off in the warmer months.

I have had an Original Tractor Cab for my John Deere for about 13 years now. It's been great. I'm just starting to see a little wear in spots but nothing to be concerned about. I think OTC can provide replacements for anything they have sold. I put mine on in the fall and take it off in the spring. It takes 2 to 4 hours depending on how much I have to mess with my wiring for my add on lights and backup camera. I don't work to hard at it and take the opportunity to do other service and cleanup.
I would recommend that anyone takes the option for the real glass windshield, although my vinyl back and side windows are clear after all these years. It's just that the plastic isn't as good optically. I didn't get a windshield wiper and have never needed it.

I have a "Cover my Tractor" cab for my DK40SE. Have had it for about 10 years. MUCH better moving snow in that cab than without it. It stays on all year, I just pull the doors off in the spring and put them back on in the fall. Just have the plastic windows and haven't had any issues with them. I removed the cab when I moved from Maine to Virginia, not sure if I will bother to put it back on.
