First Cab Tractor
Model Year: 1977
This is the first cab tractor we have owned on the farm. We have six other tractors in the fleet, however due to the growing age of the partnership and the cold winters in Tennessee, we felt like it was time to improve our situation by purchasing a cab tractor. Previous we would put hay out in the cold, wind and rain. Now with the cab, we can ignore the weather and continue to work without discomfort. This tractor has been reliable starting in the cold weather and performing great!
Pros: Simple mechanical engine design w/o electrical components that don't stand up well to agricultural use.
Cons: Too many bells and whistles. Don't feel a radio and indoor light was a necessity, especially considering their location and the cheap materials used in construction.
