There was a thread on here not long ago about cabs that might be helpful. In the end, it is going to depend on the individual. A cab makes me feel somewhat removed from the tractor operating experience, almost like remote control or video game. I have to watch clearance all the time and my view of the implements/operation are not as good as on an open station, I have both kinds, and of course mounting and dismounting are complicated by the cab.
On the other hand, I don't have to wear twenty pounds of clothes/boots in the winter or sweat myself to death in the summer, fight insects, sneeze my head off, hit the shower the minute I quite or wear hearing protection.
All that being said, if I was young and healthy and didn't drive a tractor for a living day in and day out, I would go with open station, but I am none of the aforementioned and a cab allows me to operate my tractor when I would otherwise be stuck in the house or truck.

As Triple R said both have advantages and disadvantages dependes on what you are doing with the tractor. If you are around a lots of trees with low limbs you have to be careful as opposed to an open field. I bought my first cabbed tractor last summer and all I can say it sure was nice this winter clearing the driveway. But on a nice spring day I will miss the old open stand tractor.

I've only been the happy owner of a B3030 with a cab since I tool delivery
of it on New Years Eve day,and we've had the winter that wasn't here in
northern Michigan,but I'm very happy I chose to get the cab for sure.
It sure beats freezing my butt off while blowing snow or waiting 30 minutes or
so for the old plow truck to warm up enough to be able to see out the window.
It took me a few times out in it to get the heater adjusted so I wouldn't roast to death even after shedding the insulated coveralls and everything else
I had to bundle myself up with before.I'm sure after using it today that when I start mowing I'll go through a learning curve figuring out the air conditioning too.
Other than that,it will just take some practise getting used to climbing in and out of it and getting used to using the mirrors which are awesome.It's actually easier to see where you're at when backing up to hook up something to the 3 point,and the ease of adjusting the arms and extend the ends is cool too.

Owned a B3030HSDC for 3 1/2 years and love it. Was reluctant to take it into the woods at all but have been suprised were I can safely go.

About tractor cabs,
I will strongly suggest that yoo search for the postings and comments
on the B3030 tactor cabsor simply B3030 to see them all as there have been
problems with floor sealing, door and window seals, and fumes from engine exhaust, If the pressurised cabin option is available or is available on the tractor you want o take home you should be fine but please look fior the threads and posts to be sure you are aware of the issues with the tractor cabins that have been noted by owners especially with noise as well

OK...... this thread is some sort of spoof right?
Who could regret buying a factory cabbed tractor?
Pros:
Being able to snowblow all winter in a G-string and tank-top cut off above the navel keeps the neighbors from bothering me...... ever!
Getting in to mow in summer immediately dries up all that sweat you worked up doing yard work or whatever.
Cab allows you to fininsh mowing or bush hogging when a rain shower rolls through.
Having tunes to listen to really makes the time fly..... better find more to mow! :thumbsup:
Wind changes direction while snowblowing and momentarily covers the windshield....... turn up the music and chuckle thinking about how that used to take your breath away. :laughing:
A/C keeps your beer cold longer when mowing.
Cons:
I had to trim a few branches last year that began to rub the cab.
I had to make a rule for myself to always, ALWAYS, close the door behind me........ even if only moving two inches while hooking up an attachment. NO exceptions.
I had to modify the trim around my 7' overhead door opening slightly to get the tractor inside.
Answering all those questions from folks who've never operated a late model factory cabbed tractor........ "Yes, it does have heat. And air conditioning...... and a stereo". :licking:
We should probably discuss the other features you'll really love, like the extendable side links on the three point hitch, position control, etc.
