Just my HO as I am old and cranky and like ease and comfort!
A lot of guys say open station but then they don't get covered in
dust, must not be pestered by bugs and perhaps they don't have temps in the 100+ degrees etc. Me I will not purchase a tractor with out a CAB, Hydro tranny, Power steering, PTO, Bucket, 4wd, so far only had to use 4wd a few times but I had it when I needed it, didn't have to get someone to help me get unstuck! I perfer the diesel engine more power ful than a gas, diesel fuel will not go BOOM like gas, less maintenance and they last longer than a gas engine. More expensive to purchase and fuel costs more but IMHO a diesel out shines a gas engine! Wonder how many guys with just a few acres could get by without a pto on their tractor? Roto tillers and brush hogs require a PTO! PTO's are not required for plowing but how many people that are not farmers use a plow?? A lot of farmers have a need for a bucket and you will find the guys with small tracts of land use a bucket! I really enjoy the power steering on my tractor just palm on steering wheel to turn don't need to be arm strong to make turns. All these items cost more sure do however you make things easier for yourself with them! With the cab I don't have any problems with the electrical as its all inclosed! I can remember an old 1020 tractor my uncle had back in the early 50's if the tractor wasn't moving you could not turn the steering wheel and when it was moving it took 2 elephants and a small boy to make it turn! Different areas require different things example in the south you snow equipment people have no use for they just wait for it to melt. Guys with a few acres will more than likely use a rototiller instead of a plow for their garden. With the hydro tranny
you only need to move your foot to make your tractor to forward of
backwards you can't get a standard tranny to move as fast as a hydro and for the small land owners they are the best. etc
