Cabalicious L5030 Time

Front view. This came with front and rear wipers, heater and AC and a CD/Radio.. All I need now is a small heat/cool box for the proper liquids and I'm good to go for the duration.

Last show for now - out the front. The cab is really nice but there are a few drawbacks. If you have to work with the bucket up high (like stacking something with the forks) you have to really lean forward in the seat to see as the top of the cab does limit your vision a bit. The wipers are barely big enough - I am a bit concerned over how well they will work in snow. 'Been using them to clear dust already and noticed the front spray does a great job of soaking the whole front of the cab even if the wiper only gets a portion of the window. So far the AC has not had any problems keeping up with the temps (80s and humid today) and the dealer had said this was a second generation design when I had expressed some concerns previously voiced on TBN. It would also be great to be able to take the doors off. 'And I'll have to figure out a plae to store my chains... Speaking of chains - this has the 26" Ag's and there is about 1.5" of clearance between to tires and the BH - so I wouldn't even consider them. To be honest - I had stopped using the chains on the L3710 as I didn't find them to make that much of a difference.

Of course all this nit-picking hasn't done a thing to wipe the silly grin off my face /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

<font color="green"> </font> Dont they look great brand new, I will bet it even has that new-car smell inside that cab /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif, that rig barely qualifies as a compact anymore despite the L before the 5030. Maybe you could tie that vicious guard-cat to the tractor , at least as long as it retains its shiny look /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
