Does anybody have a cab from this company? Thoughts? How/Where did you buy? They seem very inexpensive... $750 starting without any options, but would be enough to keep the snow off me!
The Original Tractor Cab Co. ...?

That is about all that style cab will do. There are other makes that will help keep heat in better and of coarse the prices go up. It's all a matter of comfort.
The plastic panels during the off season need to be stored flat and in the shade for sure or they will crack and break. Normally the first to break is the see thru part.

I have one it will keep the snow off you a little fine snow gets in once in awhile thats it. I could not fine a dealer in mn so I bought it direct from them they gave me small price break. I think it was under a thousand with glass windshield and wiper and shipping. It works I put a mr heater in there keeps me warm enough in mn. easy on easy off takes about half an hour had to drill two holes in floor on my 1850 traded that for 2660 fit wright on that didnt to drill any holes I would buy another one. didn't want to spend $3500 on a cab to blow snow 20 to30 hours a year!!

Can you post any pictures for me? Thanks! By the way, what does it come with if I don't order the glass windshield...? I assume a flexible plastic one like the sides? Also, is it a zipper style door?

I have one on my BX24 but had to make a rear bracket because of the folding ROPS in 24 is outside of the cab, but the cab is made to fit a BX2350 model.
Anyway, I would say that it is the greatest change to winter snow removal that I've experienced so far. The doors are hinged and the windows are soft and supple and should last many years. The ripstop shell is high quality. The price is right.
As far as cold, my "heater" is a hunting cushion called Lava Buns that I put in the microwave for 5 minutes. It's all I need for heat for a few hours before I get cold -I wear Carhartt coveralls.
When I store mine, I just back up under a celing hook and use a cheapie HF rope hoist and straps to lift it off the tractor. It's in a corner so it just hangs there until winter.
I made my own rearview side mirror with EMT, added 22LED amber strobes for safety (cost $10 on eBay); covered under the seat with auto carpet to keep the drafts out, covered over the air inlet/battery cover - removed the two plastic block under the battery, and added a slit gasket under the control handles also to keep the draft out.
So for $670 I paid, it's a real bargain. Wished I got the glass front but I can still buy that piece separately later. My $.02

$670 is a steal - its listed at $750 now on their site.. Do you have any pictures of what you've done with it? I think the wife is letting me get one so I stop complaining about getting COVERED in snow
I don't have any pics lost my camera. looks just like the one on there web sight its just thin vinyl but will keep snow off you and a little warmer. I take mine off and store on floor of shed rather than take it all apart save time me and the wife put it on and off its light. I would get the glass wind shield and if you do drill holes in top corners and zip tie to the frame so it doesn't fall out when installing and removing cab. the wiper i could live with out kind of small and I don't seem to need it to often can always be added later. Call the guy he will give you better deal than the web site if you can't find a dealer
