Rumors, Rumors...

/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Does anyone have any idea why JD won't sell cabs for the 4x10 series here when they sell them in the rest of the world? Take a look at JD's site, but use Europe as the base instead of N.A. Interesting - and FYI they look good. (Even has a sunroof although I don't see A/C)

Only thing I can guess , either they're not compatible with the ROPS, or having a cab in N.A. instantly implies some sort of 4-post ROPS, not just a shelter that includes the basic ROPS. There are some other options that sound interesting as well. (front PTO anyone?)

Tractors are required to have cabs in Europe for either sound or operator protection or both. That is not a sunroof, it is the required escape hatch so if the tractor is rolled on its side the operator can climb out through the roof.

Oops, just noticed the link and not all the 4X10's have cabs. There may be a minimum HP above which tractors are required to have cabs.

This came from a Deere article in new Compact Equipment
magazine;

Click on 'picking compact tractor'

Ensuring safety, John Deere compact tractors utilize color-coded controls and employ operator presence systems. New tractors offer electro-hydraulic controls and, for added safety and comfort,<font color="green"> attachments that shield the operator from inclement weather. </font>
When do the factory cabs come out?
