Took delivery of a John Deere 4052R with the “snow cab” today! Nice machine. Looking forward to heat and A/C! Replacing my Massey 1742.
New machine!

Now its time to invest in a set of tire chains. Both my tractors are bigger/heavier that your beauty but they are helpless in a heavy snowfall without chains on the tires.

That's a nice upgrade. Going from the Massey 1742 to the John Deere 4052R with a cab is a big step up for comfort. You're going to really like having the heat for snow work, and the A/C for summer jobs.

TConnolly - very nice tractor, and your barn really caught my attention! Very impressed with the post and beam and finish work! Do you have any more pics you can share of the outside too?
is that a pine frame with T&G pine in between and did you have that milled or from your property?

Beautiful tractor and timber frame! I think it's perfect timing for the weather forecasted for us in Maine.

Like others I also noticed the nice looking shop along with your new tractor. I’ll show my ignorance on bigger JD’s, is a “snow cab” an option or is that just what you call it.
