Hello Everyone,
I will be taking delivery of a M62 in the next couple of weeks and have been giving cabs some thought. I have seen a few professionally made (Curtis for example) that are great. I really value the open station of the TLB and definitely want it open most of the year. However in the winter for snow removal it would be nice to have a way to provide some protection from the wind and the cold.
My initial thoughts are to use Lexan polycarbonate (ie plexiglass type material but more durable) and use zip ties and taped foam insulation around the contact points with the ROPS/FOPS and tractor to provide a bit of cushion. I dont want to drill any holes in the tractor, and I dont want anything that is difficult to put on or remove.
The right and rear can be completely blocked, the front I would probably do a two piece so I can remove or fold the top if needed (like golf cart). The left side will be more of a challenge as I need to figure a way to create a door.
For heat I will just use a small propane space heater.
So what are everyone痴 thoughts? Has this been tried and failed before?
