"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.

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.
