RustyA I've only spent a few weekends up there but you are right about the bugs! Appreciate it!

rekees4300 glad to see your at 20 years on the tractor. When I build the garage it will have a door tall enough to accommodate. I will probably need the chains and wheel spacers too. Thank you.

Thomas, defiantly tilted that way. Thanks

Yes, welcome to the site. Also, for your purposes I would get a front mounted blower and a cab... just my :twocents:

We own tractors old and new as well as cab and open station. Hearing and getting the feel on a modern machine is really a non issue; you'll feel a problem before you hear it and most need to be wearing hearing protection anyway. We parked our "woods" tractor years ago. Anything that will break glass will break bones or give you some pretty bad bruising. We found renting a cab, tracked skid steer for a couple of days a much better option. We have 150 plus acres in woods.

KCPO Thank you for your tip on feeling it before you hear it. That's the kind of information I was hoping to get from this site.

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.
