"Soft" cabs.

Maybe in ten years when my current cab has done it's last winter I'll upgrade to one of these.

Thanks George,
but looking at RJPARTSCO a little over 4 years after you bought that, it seems they don't carry any tractor cabs at all now - or their
search engine can't find them.

Sorry, I didn't check the site before posting and Original Tractor Cab site doesn't list a cab for Branson or Century..

These soft cabs need replacement BUG SCREENS for Spring/Summer/Black fly/mosquito/ bug seasons.
They would sell a LOT MORE if they were more than a ONE season cab.
Make the tractor a screen house when needed.

More options, more money, more uses, more sales in areas that don't get snow, sounds good all around.

That is an intriguing idea.

That is an intriguing idea.

I agree. With a little extra effort my cab could be screened on all sides and sealed yellow jacket prof from the bottom which people that do a lot of shredding would appreciate.

If I do this I will inquire about the possibility of a set of bug screen sides.
The covermytractor people claim to have nothing already made up, all orders are custom, so I am thinking that they cut material to patterns and sew it up as orders come in.
I will ask for a price on a second set of sides, front and back with nylon bug screen instead of clear vinyl.
If they won't do it I may take the stock set of panels to a sail maker to see what they can do.
