Towing tractor with Curtis Cab

[RonVL4]

Do you guys leave soft door and velcro panel on your Curtis cab when towing your tractor at highway speed ? I'm always afraid they could fly off !

I would take it off but I do not have one.

If the soft door and panel are only held on with velcro I'd take them off to transport at highway speed.

Just read the instructions for my Curtis cab and they say to remove the soft panels when transporting on an open truck or trailer at highway speed. Failure to do so may result in lost or damaged panels.
Hope this helps.

I know it sounded like a stupid question ! I was just concerned with back window or top on it would create to much pressure . It would not be like an open canopy. Guess if Curtis says to take them off should be no problem. Thanks !

My dealer had them off when mine was delivered and I take them off whenever I trailer the tractor. It says on the inside of the cab to remove them for transport also.

Oh I know what you mean! I make almost as much money on the weekends doing side-jobs for friends and family as I do at my weekly 9-5. Luckily the door and side panel come off easily. I only use them in the winter and I hardly move the tractor in the winter. For summer use I prefer to leave them off rather than opening and closing a door so much.

First year with a Cab. Love it ! I had a John Deere 670 and got a offer for it I couldn't refuse. Replaced it with a Kubota 2630 with the Curtis cab and heater. I'm telling you lookin foward to snow storms. Hard doors would of been nice but soft doors are much cheaper and are doing the job and like you said in summer they will be comming off. At that point the cab becomes more of a canopy.
