Lets get it right

[Going4it]

I have never used a snow blower so I have no input there. After having a non cabbed tractor for 12 years and now a cabbed tractor for 1.5 years I will share that experience.

At first when I went from no cab to a cab, I felt out of touch with the tractor. Over time this changed and now it’s second nature. The cab does deaden sound but I can still hear when something is amiss. My tractor does not deaden sound like a car or truck. Probably because of all the glass. I would no let that concern stop you from getting a cab if you want one.

As to working around trees, the cab is tougher than I anticipated. As a matter of fact I kept my non cabbed tractor for a while to work in the woods but ended up selling it because with care I could use the cab where I needed to.

After owning both no cab and cab, I am happy with a cab for my uses.

buck12 why is the cab tougher to use around trees? Just the height difference, or something else?

I meant the cab is tougher in that it is not as fragile as I thought it would be.

Long time since I've had to deal with snow removal, but just thinking about it would make me want to use a cabbed tractor.

A cab would help keep the wind off, and could/should provide heating (potentially depending on the size of tractor).... both of which would be appreciated since the reduced physical labor would mean I'm not generating as much heat from physical exertion (I know very well how shoveling a long driveway can make a person warm enough to start shedding layers of clothing).

Should also cut down/eliminate the potential of being hit with any blowing/drifting snow.

Just my :2cents: (based on growing up in central MN and having to shovel my parents' 400ft driveway/parking area for years)

jjp8182 It looks like I will be using a rental to clear a spot for the garage and then keeping my cab in it. Thanks

Hi Catherine. I've worked with tools my whole life and have never been on any form. I would assume that there is a for sale of tractors by members here, but I have yet to find it. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Not to pile on, but only a cab for me. Too many reasons.
These cab/no cab threads always seem to end one way ...with OP given overwhelming reasons to get cabbed.

Now the OP should ask what tires to have installed.........:stirthepot:
