That is a nice looking 2410 you have, thumbs up.

Thank you Jim.


What cab is that? Sims? Curtis? How do you like it?

It's a "Sims Cab Depot" cab, model is a "Indy Cab", It has two soft removable panels below the front windshield on both sides, and a soft removable clear panel at the rear (hard fixed panel would be in the way for using the backhoe). I really like it and in the summer I have just started removing the door for easier access.

I do believe Curtis still makes a cab for the MF GC2410 and since I have purchased my Sim's cab over 10 years ago, maybe there might be others that make a hard sided cab for the MF.

Here's a pic of what I usually will have installed on the MF in the summer.

Thanks guys-I am looking at using the 3ph instead buying another machine. Cost and maintenance and parking are an issue.

I have a GC1710TLB. The only hard factory looking cabs I've found are the Sims and the Curtis even today. I would really love to have one in the winter but it's hard to justify the cost as The appear to be around $6k. I've often thought of buying a nice canopy and making my own modular cab system.

I don't know what the 3 point lift capacity is of your tractor.
But,I knew I had seen something to increase the lifting range of the 3 points and I found it again.
Titan calls it a 3PT scissor lift, I don't know if this would give you the lift needed or if your tractor could handle a ton with this much rear mount.

Yes that is a lot for a cab, but if you got the soft sided rear panel (only style available in 2009) like I have you'd save $750 (2009, I paid $3995 which included a pair of work lights kit, a hot water heater kit, a pair of outside side mirrors kit, and installation).

And back in 2009, I thought it was a lot of money also, and I think if you did a search you might find different D.I.Y. cab builds.

Good Luck, KC
