New Toy G3038

[Drifter29]

Hi Folks,

I just bought my first tractor a G3038 with a soft cab. I have had it for less than a week and have 10hours on it. I also picked up a few impliments for it at the same time woodsplitter, snowblower, pallet forks and a rough cut mower (still on order). I know you guys like pictures so here are a few.

Thanks, I've been reading the form for a while before pulling the trigger.

The cab is a Original Tractor Cab, my dealer ordered and installed it. Although there really isn't much to installing it.

Welcome from Michigan. How much was that soft cab $ ??

The cab ran me $1800. I thought it was a little high but I'll be happy I have it this winter.

Will you be removing it for summer work? I would think it would get pretty hot in there in summer. $1800 for a plastic cab seems high to me also. I think the factory cab on my P7010 was about $5,000 extra but it is glass and steel with AC and heat and stereo plus windshield washers/wipers front and rear, side mirrors plus 4 extra lights and turn signals. It also has a top vent panel large enough to crawl out of if needed , rear opening window and even a special lock feature that allow you to lock the doors while leaving a 3" or so opening for air ventilation if you don't want to run the AC. An after market cab (link provided by TBN member) with just AC/ Heat, Stereo and mirrors ( all the options listed) was priced on line for $9,000 and didn't include installation.

I don't know how OEM can put one on for $5K and yet lesser quality aftermarket guys want double price with less features. I guess we don't need to let the OEM guys know what the after market guys charge though.

I'm still undecided it I'll remove it completely for the summer. I have removed the doors right now. If I wanted to remove the rest of the cab, it would only take a few minutes. It would be nice to have some cover if I was to get caught out in a rain shower.

You're right Gary I have no idea how that cab could be so expensive for what it is, just the same as any aftermarkert cab.
