i think it looks good and will probably look better when its raining or snowing and I bet it doesnt add much weight above the COG.

I am amazed at some of the welding projects I have seen here but I would not know a good welding machine/unit if it bite me on my butt. I have worked wood for 40+ years and I know a good saw when I see it. I think your project is just fine. Got into tractors just lately, maybe I can use my cabinet skills after all. LOL.

I think you did a great job and it will keep you out of the white stuff!

Don't forget the mini-blinds and shag curtains. ;)

I think you do what it takes to make you comfortable. Down here snow isn't an issue, but I understand the need. My grandfather built something similar for his FEL some 20 years ago with plexi-glass, angle iron, and 1x2's. It was the darnest thing, but helped a great deal when hauling out round bales in freezing weather.

I couldn't even tell what material it was, and I won't knock it one big. I think it will serve it's purpose and good job.

Looks good indeed. I would go with the double hung windows, then you can go with the window AC in the summer ! PTO gen to run it and you are living the good life !

I have been welding professionally for 12 years and I think you did an excellent job. It look's good and does what you want it to do without breaking the bank. Well done to you. :)

Remember ... just anyone can go out and spend a pile money, real men "create" what they need ;)

The only difference between you and alot of us are these two things. First you actually did it versus talk about it and second you were kind enough to post it so some of us could copy it.

Nice job,

Jim

The early automobiles were built with wooden passenger compartments not to mention all the horse drawn carriages that went before them.
