Should I cab or not. Getting ready to buy

[wolc123]

So be directed by the fear of the "unknown"? Oh, and the windows on these can open.
Your personal preferences are one thing but tell me what you'd want if you were cutting 200 acres of hay at a 101* temp outside and you had to do the same thing the next day and the day after that and so on.
Now I'm in the woods mostly with mine. Its major jobs are plowing snow and skidding logs out. I am constantly hopping off and on when skidding plus my woods are rather dense.
A cabbed tractor would not fit in my world as well as an open station. For others it would be the opposite.
But far be it from me to establish an overall reason why a "cabbed" tractor should be avoided with the reasons you gave.
Why don't you just use horses previously suggested because your tractor might break down.

I am very thankful to have been born way north of the mason dixon line, where temps like that are seldom an issue. If I were ever to live south of Gettysburg PA, you can bet your bottom dollar I would have me a cabbed tractor. The only way I would consider living that far south in the summer would be at gunpoint though.

Well anyone in my area now without a cab would be water
logged! We are going to have rain for 10 days. My new
tractor was all full of dust and now its clean as a whistle!
Was going to take the car to town but could only move
2 feet had to take the truck! Drive way has small duck
ponds. We usually never get this much rain

Couple things to keep in mind when contemplating a cab versus open station..

1, the cab tractor will cost more but will also have a higher resale value down the road.

2, depends on your proposed end use and whether you will have no obstructions to impact the cab.

3, your comfort level. Myself, I prefer climate control of a cab but I also have an open station and use it too. I prefer not to sweat on a hot day or freeze my rear off in the winter.

was 102 outside...edging up to 107 today. i was out moving gravel with ac on in cab. anyobe wanting an open station on hot day is crazy. it was maybe 68 in the cab.... possibly cooler. got kind of chilled and had to turn down the fan.

Interestingly the cab models aren’t quite as tall as the ROPS models on the tractors I’ve been considering.

The ROPS gets even taller when you add a canopy.

So for me the choice was pretty simple in my mature pecan orchards, cabbed tractor.


Now the factory just needs to deliver it

If I needed a/c and the one I had blinked out, I couldn't get another one fast enough.
Life is short (and getting shorter). I move toward comfort before the boned sickle holder comes.

Ye fear the grim reaper do Ya! The dirt nap is the ultimate comfort & Ye might not need A/C ,Unless it's hot as hell.

Crap no.I worry more about the inconvenience.
Died once and resuscitated. You're correct...dying was easy but a pain in the ass at first.
There was just a whole bunch of "nothingness". Even my own death didn't matter.
I think that's what causes that mysterious smile you see on dead people at times. They come to realize that fact just before the lights go out. I know I did.
I wonder if there was a smile on my face? I should have asked.

I don't have a cab and my tractor is not waterlogged. I don't work in the rain and it's in the barn when not in use. We're flooded here.
