Cab or No Cab?

[BizDoc]

I love my cab. I traded last year from no cab to my B3030HSDC. I have been out plowing the snow when the wind was howling and blowing but didn't care. I was very comfortable inside. In the summer I mow without getting baked by the sun, I turn on the air and happily mow away. As mentioned before the two disadvantages that I see are that it is difficult to go into wooded areas with the cab and visibility is slightly deminished. I have banged my head off the glass a few times as I lean over to see a rear wheel. But over time you get used to knowing where you are. I'm also just low enough to get into the garage. another inch and I couldn't get in. So be careful of that also. But, If I had to do it over again, Cab it would be, no contest.

Would you rather go sit in an outhouse or use an indoor bathroom???
Cab for any weather is my choice!

The consensus here on this post of cab over open deck only confirms my observation that Americans continue to remove themselves from the environment and indulge themselves in a continuous supply of creature comforts wherever they are. Why not put in a heated massage seat, maybe a TV, and a continuous supply of fast food? Know I'll take a lot of flack for this, but guess I'm old school and will take the mountain air and open spaces any day over the trappings of gadgetry. IMHO bb

Bubba, just ask about any heavy equipment operator the has any sense, what they prefer on a machine OROPS or CAB? It's not about getting in touch with the great outdoors. It's about not breathing dust,pollen and diesel fumes, just to mention a few advantages of a cab.

Dirt,
Heavy equipment operation 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year on a jobsite, often times regardless of weather, and with a bunch of other heavy equipment spewing black smoke and churning up massive dust clouds is quite a bit different than working on your tractor on your own property a couple of days a week and some evenings. No way I'd do a job like that without a cab, but a lot of us part time tractor operators can do just fine with an open station.

I just wish I didn't have to reach up so high to adjust the cd player.

Also tough folding the cab down to get it in the garage...

Couldn't say it better myself ! I work indoors my open tractor lets me enjoy the outdoors my snow work is in NE but dressed right I love it.
