Have already put in quite a few hours plowing with this setup and It does what I need. Installed a second remote in case I need to put a blower on the back.The heater is a 2 speed that blows up and down (the fan you see sucks air in)and does a perfect job of keeping things from fogging up,cab is not totally sealed up so that probably helps too.I was in the lucky position of being able to lend my tractor to my neighbor,(who is a professional boat canvas builder).to rebuild/regrade his yard and this enclosure was how he returned the favor.

Very nice! It gets a bit cold and windy up here in NH and I'm jealous!

 

[Hosskix]

Man, that's pretty cool!
Ask if he wants to borrow a Ranger for a little while!

 

[NH-Rob]

I am in NH so that makes me a neighbor as well maybe he could barrow my tractor so I can get one too. Do you have any idea what it cost him to build it? Might turn out to be a good side buisness for him.

I keep saying I want add a cab every year, but every year something else comes up.

 

[257NH]

Yeah I hear ya Robi,seems strange to not have to wear gloves while I'm plowing.

Sorry Hosskix one of his trucks is a ranger.

Not sure what he would have to get for a job like that Rob,He's in florida for the winter,should be back in may.

20 20 I can only tell you that can't go wrong if you back burner the thing that comes up and get that enclosure.You won't regret it.

WOW, that is really nice. Would it be too much to ask to have more detailed pictures???

Is the roof a regular tractor canopy or something he fabricated, if so, out of what. What did he use for the framing? How did he attached the framing, as well as the fabric, such as to the fenders?

Sure looks professional?

Very nice work, you will love heat in the blowing snow!

 

[hagman]

I too would like more info about this like djradz. i.e. material used, how the frame was made etc. looks GREAT! Congrats.
