Buying Advice Cab or No Cab?

[acme97]

That is a concern, breaking the windows. Most of the property has been clear cut so the trees are mostly under 4 inches. I plan on getting rid of most of that and planting xmas trees or fruit trees. About 9 acres will be pasture, so I'm hoping if I remain careful I'll not break any glass.

Made a big mistake (not) took the wife and she loved it. Bought the DK50SE HST with Cab, duel remotes on rear, FEL, Grapple, and 6ft Heavy Duty Rotary Cutter. But she was good with it! Say's I owe her an Iphone.

Now just have to figure how to get it to the property in SC!

Know anyone with a 10K trailer near DC that wants to get rid of it?

congrats on the tractor...talk the dealer on free delivery....he owes ya.

I had my wife along when looking at tractors a few months back. it was at her urging that i got the cab.....im happy with the decision too. Of course now she got herself a new gooseneck horse trailer... oh well

i have 20 acres of trees myself.....but ive trimmed them up so they dont hit the cab. i have 1.5 miles of groomed trails thru woods. the tractor wont leave the trails. Dont want to break that window.

also, if you get a rear mount snowblower...dont get the one with the manual chute rotator handle...there designed to destroy the rear window hehe.

my dealer was ordering a new window for someone that was too cheep to add hydraulic rotator.

oh ya, he was also ordering a new door for someone that tried to move the tractor out of his shop with the door open......bad decision

I actually have cab and non cab tractors and use them for different things. For short small jobs with lots of on and off, I like the open station tractor. Those are low hp jobs and the 30hp tractor is open. Mowing, baling, discing, planting are all done with a cab and I wouldn't have it any other way. If I had only one tractor ( assuming the acreage justified the size) I would have a cab over an open station tractor.

I don't remember if Kioti has an option to put a sunshade (roof) attached to the ROPS (probably do). That would give you a moderate amount of sun and precipitation protection without the fear of smashed windows.
