Should I cab or not. Getting ready to buy

   / Should I cab or not. Getting ready to buy #11  
It is nice to sit in a cab and watch the bees/wasps/hornets and other bugs beating themselves against the glass, trying to get at you. You'll stir up a lot of those critters when mowing. Used to be my biggest aggravation when I mowed with my open station. Now instead of beating the bugs off me I sit there, grin, and listen to the stereo.

You guys are pushing me towards the cab model. Looks like I am writing a big check here soon. Pretty excited to get my first tractor and join the club :)

I ordered mine with a canopy. I hope to cook something like this up for winter use, but replace the front window with a piece of clear marine vinyl, which isn't terribly expensive by the yard. It doesn't get all that cold in SC but I'm a wimp in cold temps. If I don't do something the tractor will sit unused all winter. I couldn't justify the cost of a real cab or even an aftermarket cab.

For the extra $300 at purchase I thought the canopy is a good compromise.

I ordered a Yanmar YT235C because of the heat, dust and bugs here in Texas. I also has filters and you can have inside air or outside air just in case you have allergies. Because of the rubber shortage I have to wait for my tractor to get here. I talked to a Kubota dealer and he said it would be 8 months before I could get a tractor so 2 month wait ain't that bad!

Fortunately for me the dealer has the tractor I want in stock 😃

I haven't even been given an ETA. It's been a month, and I still just get IDK .

I think with the ā€œcab vs no cabā€ debate, youā€˜ll find most guys with cabs will say ā€œget a cabā€ and most guys with open station will say ā€œget open stationā€.
Everyone likes to justify their tractor purchase decision was the best decision ever made.

I have a canopy. That must be why I'm always wishy-washy when the subject of cabs come up. :D
